The past and present inform the future -- Narrative placemaking in built environments -- Form and function follow fulfillment -- The shared place: why do we need it? -- Why start with story? -- Identity and impact: a place stands for something -- Shifting perspectives -- Reimagining places for people, play, and purpose -- Conversations with dreamers and designers -- A final thought: creativity starts with curiosity
Summary: "Margaret Chandra Kerrison presents an indispensable manifesto, compelling designers of environments and experiences to embrace a people-centered approach fueled by intentional narratives. This thought-provoking book delves into the realm of uncharted possibilities, envisioning a world that fosters a deep sense of belonging and authentic expression. She shares her unique insights, drawing from her experiences as a former Walt Disney Imagineer and the 2023 Paule Helmle Fellow at Cal Poly Pomona's Department of Architecture. By combining storytelling with architectural and experiential design, the book inspires the creation of meaningful places that cultivate strong communities and shared values. Through this narrative lens, she encourages us to imagine and build a world we truly desire to inhabit, one that thrives on collaboration and purposeful living."-- Provided by publisher
