Remember the Girl Rapunzel --- the one with very long hair? Has anybody ever wondered, would she have those, if she wasn't captivated in a tower but an underground dungeon or well? 

This would change the narrative, making Architecture the backbone of every great story.

Building Stories is a specially curated course for the young and uninitiated in architecture. Here we will explore using popular stories as cues to what happens in architecture when people, place, prose meet.  

The course comes with an added bonus – a journey through The Little Book of Architecture by Harshada Shintre and Y.D. Pitkar, the much-loved Professor of Architecture from India. Take part in this story of four friends and discover the architectural elements surrounding them.
