Show and Tell: Improving the transfer of knowledge through narrative, image, and built form

Hanna-Korpi, Chloe

Abstract Details

2011, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Architecture.
This thesis investigates how the architect can employ narrative, image and built form as didactic tools that positively affect communities and the volunteers who serve them. The design of a rural volunteer training center in the small village of Las Pilas, El Salvador explores the ability of a building to act as educational theater - a theater that provides the volunteer with an interactive learning environment, the community with a participatory outlet for sharing and receiving information, as well as a public showcase of appropriate and innovative solutions to local design problems. An accompanying design manual and interactive model lead the volunteer through a diagrammatic narrative of the design process, suggesting how they may capitalize upon the existing community knowledge base to inform future design decisions that engage people in a more critical conversation about their environment and the collective potential for informed design.
