This learning resource focuses on the integration of architectural design and narrative storytelling. Students are tasked with collaboratively creating architectural plans for a house that serves as the setting for a fictional story. The project emphasizes how physical spaces can influence narrative elements, encouraging students to apply technical design principles alongside mathematical calculations and literary analysis. Roles are assigned to ensure a multifaceted approach to the design, including responsibilities for architectural drafting, thematic analysis, technical specifications, and narrative connections. Through a series of structured phases, students explore the interplay between architecture and storytelling, culminating in a presentation that justifies their design choices using evidence from the selected text.
