What is a Story Box?
Behind the Name
Story Box refers to the idea that buildings are complex boxes where the stories of our lives play out.
In storytelling, a "story box" is a collection of items that provide visually impaired children a tactile, multi-sensory way to experience a narrative. For example, a piece of smooth silk helps represent a princess dress.
Buildings provide multi-sensory experiences on a grand scale, and through good design, they enhance our world.
