Abstract
Keywords: architecture, education, fiction, narrative mapping, imagination
In tune wirth the groundbreaking ambition of this book (conference) to discuss the 'reciprocal effects of architecture and fiction' my paper proposes a debate on the role of fiction in design pedagogy. Why address ths issue? The interest of the motto of this book (conference): 'form follows fiction' lies inj the need to imagine the unexpected and the unpredictable. It is often said that fiction is escape, but the question is in what sense. According to Gilles Deleuze "writing has an essential relation with flight lines. Writing is tracing flight lines, which are not purely imaginary, and which one is forced to follow, because the act of writing engages us with them in reality, and makes us embark on them.' Escape means a way out, and fiction has the capacity to invent just that. How graduating architecture students found a way out of 'impossible' issues through productive fiction is the topic of my paper.
