NARRATIONS OF THE CITY'S PUBLIC SPACES

Original language description

Narrative in architecture is investigated increasingly often. The 21st-century's direct linking of architectural narratives with the urban space and the perceptions of its users, which influences the popularity of this space, is a research gap. This paper presents an original method for analysing spatial narratives in public urban interiors and demonstrates that architectural narrative is an important element of urban space. The comparative case study of Prague and Krakow examples is descriptive and contributes unique insights into the 'storytelling' of urban space. Five cases in Prague, Czech Republic, and Krakow, Poland, were studied using a mixed methods approach, combining spatial and functional analysis with literature and media queries, behavioural mapping, and Space Syntax, and then compared with each other in their respective categories, where applicable: Marianske Square; against Maly Rynek, the Holesovice Brewery against the Lubicz Brewery, and Lennon's Wall. In the study, the narrative potential of the spaces investigated is linked to social potential (against exclusion), functional flexibility, and the characteristics of a sustainable urban environment. The analyses identified the following architectural narrative types: historical, contemporary, tropes, costume, and informal. The method has application potential, but it can be further enhanced with questionnaires about the users' perceptions of space.
