Abstract
Walking is an activity that involves studying physical space and requires careful observation to be immersed in the surrounding reality. City walks are popular ways of encountering an urban space, spatial relation, its history, and recognising the problems and needs of space users, as well as future development of the city. City walks also may be educationally p owerful: the exploration of certain city spaces and their associated narratives. The aim of this article is to present a city walk as an experimental tool in architectural education, in particular as a method of critical engagement with city problems and the needs of its users. City walks are an experiment, a method of studying spatial relations to raise the awareness of future architects and urban planners. The question arising from the researchconcerns the role that urban walks can play in creating the spatial and critical involvement of future architects and urban planners. The study was based on city walk experiments conducted by the Faculty of Architecture at Gdańsk University of Technology (GUT), Gdańsk, Poland, in collaboration with a number of partner.
