Christiane created a hypertext version of Gothamberg using the 3D drawing by Johanna as an image map of the building. You click on each tableau and up pops the story associated with it. Hyperlinked into each story is another story that relates to it, so you can create a narrative that flows from one story to the next. At the bottom are the keywords from the original posting. However, these do not really help the narrative flow, they may just provide 'context' to the current story.As creating this 'narrative thread' between stories may prove impossible by computer intelligence alone, this lead to the idea that perhaps we can create a way for people to themselves link their stories to others. A little like Max Msp, which uses boxes and threads that you connect yourself.

People may want to choose a particular point in the building to add their story because their stories relate to those around them. By allowing them to physically do this with a threading system hardcodes their relationship to others. Those stories not linked may then 'float' separately as the building expands... so threading becomes a useful strategy to have a story read.

Perhaps as you read one story, you see the thread made up of the various spaces beaded together. Perhaps also, independently, stories that are read more often get darker, so perhaps 'trails' are visible, or destinations.

Finally, we thought about the way in which each story is represented. Maybe we have:

- a context glyph
- a ‘thread’ of associated spaces,
- the story
- the ‘thesaurus keywords’ or ‘associated texts’ (see below).
- Other? Time seemed irrelevant, as it seemed that jumping in hypertext creates its own time in the viewer

These may all be floating elements a little like Marc Napiers “Feed”, where each object can be sized and scaled by the reader, creating their own canvas.
