Abstract :Narrative is a form of production that incorporate elements such as characters, time, and space. These elements work together to convey subject actions in a temporal context, and can be communicated through verbal, written, and visual forms. The spatial information in different narrative forms is represented using a variety of tools and methods. Bakhtin\`s concept of \`chronotope\` highlights the interdependent nature of time and space in textual narratives and can be applied to visual narratives. The potential of graphic narrative as a medium to visualize time through sequential frames makes it a valuable tool to explore spatial knowledge and representation in architectural education. This paper explores the spatial representation capabilities of graphic narratives using the concept of chronotope, and presents a practical exercise called \`Narrative of Space\` that can be used to promote spatial thinking and representation in first-year architectural education.
