Abstract:
The aesthetic comprehension of space is a process of transforming the user into an experiencer and narrator. In Japanese architecture, spatial narration is a method of constructing a bridge between the experiencer and space. This article examines the role of spatial narration as a design tool for spatial atmosphere by considering two acclaimed projects of contemporary Japanese architecture.
