Abstract
Night Kitchen explores architectural representation through a design methodology informed by picturebooks. This article explores how their work utilizes the ‘fourth and fifth dimensions’ of picturebooks – the interplay between words and images and the intertextual references that suggest wider narratives beyond the page. Their incorporation of ephemera from their studio archive is presented as blurring the lines between reality and fiction, in relation to ideas of enthralment and a real-world immersion in fiction. This research examines their work in the context of postmodern publishing techniques and the contemporary multimodal world, in relation to postmodern picturebook theory, highlighting the potential of an integration of the format with archival practices to inform architectural research that explores temporality and narrative.
