P004 → Memory Distortion
Materialising, Reshaping & Reinterpreting Memories.
A research exploring the reconstruction of childhood bedrooms as symbolic spaces where distorted memories take physical form blending architectural tools with emotional design and sensory exploration.
This project looks into how childhood memories, naturally distorted by time, can be materialized, reshaped and reinterpreted within physical environments. The approach navigates between subjectivity and objectivity, aiming to make tangible what is emotional, through technical and architectural methods. The focus is places in childhood bedrooms as symbolic and deeply personal spaces, reconstructed through the lens of memory, narrative and sensory perception.
Using interviews, drawings, and personal stories, childhood bedrooms are reconstructed as physical models. These models are intentionally incomplete, sterile, and abstract. Visitors experience neutral, white structures that trigger their own memories, emotions, and imagination.
The models combine technical 3D production with subjective interpretations, creating friction between fact and emotion.
On a second layer, sounds tell the story of each room. These are based on the collected personal infromation, while using narration and storytelling as an interpretation too
Inspired by theme parks, environmental psychology, and narrative studies, the work invites collaboration. Participants share their own stories, which are transformed into new spaces, fostering dialogue about how we remember, distort, and share the places that shaped us.
