dc.description.abstract"The present thesis revolves around a primary interrogation, namely 'How is collage used in interior architecture to construct a narrative beyond technical drawings?' To answer this question, the thesis first offers a definition of collage and montage before taking a look at the emergence of the collagist technique in the European and global art scene. It goes to prove that beyond its technicity, collage is first and foremost a creative framework and a process of the mind. Secondly, it investigates how collate was introduced in architectural practice. This chapter is explored through three case studies, where three projects by Mies van der Rohe, Superstudio and Fala Atelier are analysed. One collage (or a series of collages belonging to the same project) per practice is inspected in order to understand the collagist approach in an architectural context. Here, the essay attempts to determine how collage can be seen as tool of representation that serves the purpose of order. After dissecting the methodology of each piece, it will be possible to grasp the narrative behind each proposal. As such, this chapter combines three analytical framework: contextual analysis, image analysis and spatial analysis. Lastly, the final chapter contains a creative application of the thesis topic in a water tower in Berlin, Germany."en
