How does a novel correlate to the SSoAL? What parallels can we draw between the mythical tower of Babel and our very own Arts Tower? What is the role of academics, and how do we, as architecture students, get so wrapped around our own projects, much alike the protagonist of the novel, Robin?
Welcome to "The Book Discussions"; our new series of "Off the Drawing Board" kicks off with the book "Babel", by R.F. Kuang. With MArch student Hannah Wolowacz joining us in the studio, we will be talking about the awarded novel, and try to understand how a speculative fictional story can be significantly correlated to the reality of being an architecture student.
