Architecture Fiction

Before getting too ahead of myself, I think that it is important to look back and really understand what this assignment is asking me.

In the lecture we keep being told that this is "Architecture Fiction" not "Sci-fi fiction". It therefore becomes important not to get too carried away with the idea and begin to design something which is set hundreds of years in the future. This would result in absolutely any scenario being possible without the need for any data or reasons to back it up.

First we need to understand what fiction means:


fic·tion

   [fik-shuhn]  Show IPA

noun

1.

the class of literature comprising works of imaginative narration, especially in prose form.

2.

works of this class, as novels or short stories: detective fiction.

3.

something feigned, invented, or imagined; a made-up story:We've all heard the fiction of her being in delicate health.

4.

the act of feigning, inventing, or imagining.

5.

an imaginary thing or event, postulated for the purposes of argument or explanation.

From this it can be seen that the idea of assignment is to create a story, or prose, which is invented and imagined to provide some narration. This project is to contain a stage or setting, characters which play a part within the story and a underlying plot which ties all the ideas together.
