About
Jatin Naru is a recent graduate of The Bartlett School of Architecture, finishing with First Class Honours and publication in the influential architectural magazine Dezeen.
As an ode to the collections of folktales of the Brothers Grimm, this project speculates an architectural revival of their philological tendencies in the depths of the Black Forest. An outpost for literature students of a nearby university, the building acts as an embodiment of the ‘Naturpoesie’ they study within, hidden in the shadows of the trees. It is synecdochic of the surrounding forest: dramatic moments of monumentality are placed alongside individual retreats for literary introspection. The writings of the students are inscribed into the pinewood walls, transcending both language and generation, the building as a literary archive unto itself.
