Storytelling is a basic human activity. Why we tell stories may differ from case to case. Stories exist to delight, instruct or console us. Some stories warn; others enlighten and inspire. At the root of the narrative urge is the conviction that there are some truths we can only express in stories. This course is an analysis of such stories to find and express their meanings. Participants will be required to read, analyse and express their ideas in a class discussion.

'Architecture is the art of how to waste space' fand schon der Architekt Philip Johnson. Das Zitat trifft besonders auf die englischen Gartenkonstruktionen des frühen 18. Jahrhunderts zu, die auch als 'follies' bekannt sind. Wir werfen einen kurzen Blick auf die Entstehung des englischen Gartens und widmen uns dann der Achitektur, die dem Garten zur Vollendung verhalf. Viele Bilder illustrieren den Vortrag in englischer Sprache.
