ABSTRACT
London Short Stories investigates the reinvestment of narrative form in the design of architecture and urbanism, depicting a London that is peopled with both real and fictional elements from a variety of sources. In the acquisitive nature of collage, the urban spatial research projects appropriate ideas, tropes and characters from pre-existing critical thinking in the fields of architectural representation and narrative structure. The short stories explore whether narrative retains any relevance to modern architecture and
urban design; and if so, how meaning and symbolism can be incorporated into the built environment.
