• Abstract:

  The remediation of memory appears to be a modern obsession. Since the “memory boom” of the 90s, relevant study fields and methodologies have addressed this subject. Although this topic is still broad, design can extend the scope of memory studies as a discipline that contributes to the development of culture. Through an interdisciplinary design approach, the Mnemosphere project explores how the memory of places is crafted and transmitted through emotional-stimulating experience locations. The study suggests a conversation between communication design and exhibition design in the atmospheric and aesthetic realm, focusing on converting information into a framework for comprehending the configuration of the mnestic environment. This is done with a particular focus on emotions, colour perception, and the design of temporary settings and services. The study initially analyses the development of a common lexicon for the recall of places, atmospheres of spaces, and emotional atlases, among other things. The project then analyses devices for activating memory in exhibition spaces using data collecting and proposes parameters for designing future memory and emotion-related places. As a result, a communal collection of visual assets for the proposed concepts has been created. This is accomplished through an open call for images distributed publicly via the project's networks. The shared archive and results will be made available online to contribute to a broader understanding of design research related to memory and atmospheres.
