ABSTRACT

The research endeavors to explore innovative approaches in enhancing participatory experiences within corporeal space design, leveraging the lens of narrative theory. Through a qualitative methodology, the study unearthed two pivotal approaches: Narrative-Embedded Design and Interactive Storytelling Environments. Narrative-Embedded Design approach encapsulates users' stories within spatial elements, fostering environments echoing users' identities and experiences, thereby enhancing engagement and participation. Concurrently, Interactive Storytelling Environments approach crafts dynamic spaces that adapt and evolve with users' interactions, offering immersive and continually engaging participatory experiences. These innovative methodologies signify a harmonious integration of narrative theory and corporeal space design, facilitating the creation of spaces that are not only participatory but also reflective and respectful of users' narratives. The findings of the study contribute significantly to the theoretical discourse and practical applications in corporeal space design, providing valuable insights and guidelines for practitioners and researchers aiming to craft engaging and inclusive participatory spaces.
