Landscape narratives have the potential of being powerful design tools. Designing with narratives may provide new opportunities, shaping conditions for new possibilities and stories.

The project focuses on the gap between the theory of the landscape narratives and the practical application in the field; emphasizing the interconnection between the design elements which are essential for construction and the type of narrative. Starting from the theory of landscape narratives the spatial ways of the representation of time are discussed; followed by a further investigation of the way continuous landscape narratives may be translated into spatial architectural compositions which implicitly are presented in the materials, experiences, sequences and processes of landscape forming and resulting in a suggestion for a methodological framework for designing with landscape narratives, including instruments for analyzing, constructing the narrative, spatial translation and implementation.
