People have always been fascinated by myths, they live with stories and want to feel emotionally involved. With stories we win the hearts and minds of those who are not already our friends.Nobel Prize winner Robert J Shiller says stories drive economic events, Pritzker Prize winner BV Doshi says architecture is storytelling. But what is a story?

Architecture is often communicated through precise drawings and models, books and exhibitions. However, architecture is more than an object to be mediated on—it should be told through stories, characters, and what-if-scenarios that can disseminate to much wider audiences, giving architecture the opportunity to be understood as an argumentative, discursive practice. Fiction is a shared language.
