Nâzım Hikmet, one of the most important figures of the modern Turkish poetry known for his realistic and political style, has developed a non-linear narrative style built around spatial depictions in his recent poems. The purpose of this article is to reveal the spatial experience produced Hikmet’s architectural metaphors within the scope of his works in his last years. In order to examine the emotional experience of Hikmet’s multi-dimensional spatial metaphors, Paul Ricoeur’s metaphor theory will be applied on the basis of the narratology of space as an interdisciplinary field. Ricoeur’s theory defines both literature and architecture in the three categories of the outside world, the artwork as structure, and interpretation, which connects his framework to Hikmet’s interest in real life, his structured poetry and his functional agenda to reach out to people. For him, metaphors are not just substitutions between the two names, but a means of reaching a new field of otherwise indescribable layers of the world. Unlike his canonical realist style, Hikmet’s spatial metaphors open the door to a new existential tension in his last poems. The original aspect of the work is that it analyzes architectural metaphors through narrative space, which produce an experience in the imagination. Focusing on Hikmet’s architectural spaces to explain his architectural spaces based on a non-linear narrative is the other original contribution of the article. The results of the study are that Hikmet’s architectural spaces of his late years moved away from realistic visualizations -that contain the plot, contain symbols or broaden the context of the textand produced ungraspable, uncanny, and ever-changing surroundings producing an effect of the flow of life met with a political hopefulness and subjective angst at the same time. To conclude, it can said that the narrative spaces as metaphors open up new ways of architectural experience due to their special qualities transcending their main function as containers of the plot.
