Encounters by Design : Strategies for Spatial Stories

Discover what it means to orchestrate encounters and tell stories through an unexpected medium – space. With decades of experience and a fresh perspective, Atelier Markgraph has been crafting small- and large-scale spaces and installations that resonate with the public and their clients.Spaces are not meant to sit empty, devoid of human interaction.Markgraph knows this and crafts spatial experiences with exceptional intentionality and precision, all the while never forgetting what really matters: the encounters between people and space.The Atelier is made up of talented storytellers, who use space as a medium to craft narratives and encounters using a radically dynamic mix of digital and analogue elements, elegantly integrated with one another.Using the studio’s projects as case-studies, Erika Brandl Mouton guides readers with poignant writing and perceptive insights through the philosophy of spatial encounters and stories.This volume breaks down complex notions, creating accessible content that upholds the integrity of the Atelier’s practice.
