‘Storying Architecture’ pilot study; trial and tribulation. Detailing the methodology, implementation, and initial findings of a postponed research project in Bali, Indonesia

Abstract

This study develops upon the author’s previous paper, ‘Diversifying Epistemological Narratives in Design Discourse; Proposed Storying Methods on Place, People, and Affordances in Bali’, published in the European Society for Engineering Education (SEFI) Conference Proceedings, 2019- noted in the References section. ‘Diversifying Epistemological Narratives’ suggests that, by sharing stories together within designerly conversations, native craftspeople and architectural students could be exposed to new ancestral origins, values, and ways of knowing. These could be interpreted and integrated into the architecture of a live project, designed and built between the two stakeholder groups, in a bid to support sustainable native futures and diversify Eurocentric design education.
