We present a cognitive design assistance system equipped with analytical capabilities aimed at anticipating architectural building design performance with respect to people-centred functional design goals. The paper focuses on the system capability to generate "narratives of visuo-locomotive user experience" from digital computer-aided architecture design (CAAD) models. The system is based on an underlying declarative narrative representation and computation framework pertaining to conceptual, geometric, and qualitative spatial knowledge. The semantics of the declarative narrative model, i.e., the overall representation and computation model, is founded on: (a).
