| Abstract | ||||
| This study examines the role of narrative cultural landscapes in combining storytelling with spatial design to create engaging and immersive user experiences. By applying design indicators to three globally significant case studies—Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park (Japan), Vietnam Veterans Memorial (USA), and The Avenue of Sphinxes (Egypt)—this research identifies the principles that enhance narrative-driven landscapes. These indicators include spatial configuration, materiality, symbolic representation, and sensory interaction, all of which contribute to fostering emotional connections and user engagement. The study synthesizes findings from these examples into a comprehensive framework for designing narrative cultural landscapes. This framework emphasizes the critical roles of authenticity, inclusivity, and user participation in shaping meaningful and culturally resonant spaces. By bridging theoretical insights and practical applications, the framework provides actionable guidance for architects, landscape designers, and urban planners. The research demonstrates the transformative potential of narrative landscapes in preserving cultural heritage and enhancing experiential engagement across diverse historical and cultural contexts. | ||||
