This paper examines the relationship between designing interactive experiences based on new technologies and the process of architectural narration. It highlights the idea of rethinking a building with historical, architectural and functional value, as an experience and a journey. Referring to the historic building of the Municipal Market of Chania, Greece and using the conceptual idea of designing through narratives, it delineates the process of integrating new technologies into the process of designing a spatial and temporal experience. Exploiting Augmented Reality, we design an application implementing a digital layer with architectural and historical content, that is integrated into reality, improving the on-site visit, providing enhanced understanding of the building and introducing experiential visitor-building interaction. The application is available through mobile devices and the proposed system is evaluated by a group of users showing the positive effects of the use of interactive technologies in redesigning the experience of a space.
