ABSTRACT
At the Brickworks Museum, in Zehdenick in the state of Brandenburg, Germany our task as designers was to identify and present the memory of its industrial usage which, together with its social context, would enable visitors to connect emotionally with the location’s multi-layered cultural heritage. Located near Berlin, it is the largest of its kind in Europe and the interpretive intervention consists of a sequence of installations synthesizing architecture and digital media to create experiential storytelling environments. As architects and storytellers, our understanding of the individual’s perception of space and its associative qualities is the basis for our exploration of the narrative potential that space embodies. Furthermore, our interest in film and digital media, with their narrative and spatial possibilities, has led us to investigate how they can be combined with architecture to create spatial storytelling environments.
