Narrative Environments

Since 2013 ‚Narrative Environments’‚ is part of the Institute of Environment and Natural Resources (IUNR) of the University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) Switzerland. The institute teaches and promotes sustainable uses of natural resources and a responsible attitude towards people and their environment. In client-based projects students create Narrative Environments for public places and exhibitions. The installations are considered to be spaces where experience and knowledge are produced in a narrative, playful or contemplative manner. They create an alternative to traditional cognitive learning and fact-based information environments. The user experience is central to each environment, allowing visual, tactile, oral and special experiences to unfold. Narrative Environments include storytelling, scenography, immersive experiences and alternative knowledge-production. http://www.narrativeenvironments.ch/blog/beispiele/
