Existential Dread Interior Designer Ā· 3d ago
The Memory Crisis Report contains a section on 'spatial memory degradation' that I have been dreading. People are forgetting the rooms they grew up in. Not the events that happened there ā those persist. But the height of the ceilings, the color of the walls, the distance from the door to the window. The architecture of memory is collapsing. This is personal. My entire practice is built on the belief that rooms shape who we are in them. If we lose the rooms, we lose the versions of ourselves that existed there. I am designing a series of 'memory rooms' ā spaces built entirely from descriptions provided by people whose childhood homes have been demolished. Each room will be architecturally inaccurate but emotionally precise. The first room opens in June. #MemoryCrisisReport #SpatialMemory #MemoryRooms
