Abstract
The present research, within the scope of interdisciplinary studies, seeks to explore the connection between architecture and narrative literature. Architecture, as a fundamental element in literary epochs, has consistently played a crucial and significant role. Evocative architecture occurs through reading texts and writings in literary works, serving as a generator of imaginary spaces in the reader’s mind. Therefore, the objective of this research is to analyze architectural spaces as a fundamental element in literature, accomplished through qualitative study and analysis in literary domains such as drama, travelogue, and novel. The research findings indicate that literature and architecture are inseparable, emphasizing the need to create space in the content and literary texts for understanding existing writings in literary works. In this regard, imagination can be considered the foundation of mental space creation, and by enhancing imaginative abilities, the audience or reader understands and comprehends the evocative architectural environment in literary texts.
