PROJECT INTRODUCTION
In the summer of 2015 I took on a collaborative research project, working with a colleague and three Brazilian students visiting on the Science Without Borders programme. The aim of the project was to uncover hidden wartime memories within Nottingham and make this information available to the people of Nottingham. We put together a website containing our findings, blog posts and an interactive map of the 'memory points' which we uncovered.
A SPACE FOR
MEMORY
INTERACTIVE MAP
We aimed to create information which is interesting and accessible to all, with the intention to encourage younger people to learn about Nottingham's history. I created an online memory point map using information which we had collectively gathered and chosen. The map forms a focal point of the website which can be accessed via mobile for viewing on the go. View the map below, clicking on each point reveals more information.
PHYSICAL MAP / LEAFLET
My colleague and I produced a physical leaflet which is to be made available at Nottingham Tourist Information Centre. Download the map and leaflet information below.

INFORMATION
EXHIBITION
After the project had concluded, we were invited to put on an exhibition in Bonington Gallery. My colleague and I set up an unusual and interactive exhibition in which visitors were invited to share their own thoughts and feelings on our blackboards. The intention was for the space to be informal and playful, almost opposite to the atmosphere expected at traditional galleries and certainly to that of remembrance sites.

VISUAL ESSAY
I was able to further my research in my Architecture In Context module, this time by creating a visual essay. The essay aims to answer questions such as: Do we care about remembrance anymore? How should we remember? Should we remember? By carrying out primary and secondary research I am able to propose an alternative method of remembrance which is more relevant to all generations in our ever changing contemporary context.
