Sammanfattning
What is the relationship between memory and
hitsory ? is it just few moments that revives
once in a while and take us to those special
momentos where we can be away from our
daily routines.! How we can preserve values
of those memorable past from being disappeared
and frame them.? why it really matters?
In general, talking about past and history arise
many topics for discussion. This project aims
to investigate different design strategies in respect
to memory in the context of history. And
study multiple layers of what so called “memory”,
to use it as a tool for translating emotional
scenes to physical experiences. In other
words, converting untouchables to touchable
figures. This thesis explores mainly three different
theories, Cognition, Curiosity and sensibility.
This theories are based on experimentation
and learning foundations via design
process. Through investigation and design it
navigates the theories and aims to propose
a design in which, spectator’s understanding
of values change and extract a concept with
open ending that could continue across generations.
The design process has been divided in two
main phases: 1. Experimentation and case
studies, 2. Implementation and design development.
EXPERIMENTATION
Experimentation and case studies are valuable
tools for design idea developments.
Studies of different material can help to explore
the potentioal of different techniques to
develope a deeper understanding of how they
can be used to create innovative and effective
design solutions. In the first stage of the
design process, natural rubber “Latex”, (as
the main casting material) has undergone
various experimentations that involved testing
and exploring different techniques to better
understanding their properties and potential
applications. After collecting series of different
mummified objects from vibrant selections, a
collective documentation provided in relation
to material cognitive behavior studies.
IMPLEMENTATION AND DESIGN
Using the insight from the collected documentation,
we can conceptualize a design that incoprorates
materials and design choices that
are having specific cognetive and behavioral
effects. For example: in the context of mummification,
the texture and forms that are brought
by Latex as casting material is more found to
have histrorical background. In addition, the
material cognitive behaviors have a direct impact
on the material implementation throughout
the design.
