Spaced dots! An open preservation technique, that provides tangible link to the memory (past) and our everyday life experiences

Abstract

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.
