These eight storyboards were exhibited at the 16th Annual International Conference of the Architectural Humanities Research Association at the University of Dundee, UK. They were designed by Paul Guzzardo and Gustavo Cardon. The tableaus are set in barrios in Buenos Aires, Argentina. They were developed for two Buenos Aires architectural graduate workshops and UNESCO presentations in France, Lithuania and Sweden.11. Buenos Aires workshops: 2018: The Digital Street Lab in the Box (DSLB), Universidad Nacional de La Matanza (UNLaM), August-September, 2018; and 2019: The Digital Street Lab in the Box (DSLB), Facultad de Arquitectura, Diseño y Urbanismo (FADU-UBA), March-April, 2019. The Buenos Aires workshops were led by Rodrigo Martin Iglesias, Paul Guzzardo and Gustavo Cardon. The participating instructors included Cristina Voto, Marcelo Robles, Rocío Agra, Leandro Dalle, Javier Albornoz, Sergio Fagilde, Pilar Dongarrá, Sebastián Fernández, Fermín Labaqui, Andrea Mech and Juan Moreno. UNESCO presentations: UNESCO MIL Section, Paris, France, June 3rd, 2019; MIL Citizens: Informed, Engaged, Empowered, Gothenburg, Sweden, September 25th, 2019; and Media and Information Literate Cities, Kaunas, Lithuania, October 24th, 2018. The storyboards were proposed as an alternative to the desiccated storylines that gag most urban design briefs. They offer a new mythic stew, as “triage way stations” to map a way out of the digital mesh-up we are slapped hard against and as mythic blueprints for a line of firewalls against weaponized data. Despite the fact that digital buckshot is coming at hyper-speed, a conversation about myth and the practice of architecture has been ignored. Myths contain seeds of new stories, stories that incrementally increase intelligence.22. Lewis Hyde, Trickster Makes This World (London: Macmillan, 1997 Hyde, Lewis. 1997. Trickster Makes This World.
