Summary/Abstract: Postmodernism introduced the rule ‘form follows fiction’ into the contemporary architecture. It meant the subordination of the mass of buildings to symbolic stories ‘told’ by them. In the paper the author presents semantic interpretations of the most interesting designs in recent years. They are presented in a thematic catalogue comprising narrations of traditions, ‘ethnic’ and tourist narrations, landscape and nature narrations, sea narrations, as well as kinetic, fairy-tale and ‘graphic’ ones.
