In this workshop, participants will explore how built spaces shape the way we remember and feel. The session begins with a guided walkthrough where participants sketch and note elements that capture their attention — facades, textures, colours, and light. Back in the workshop space, these impressions will be transformed into three-dimensional artist books, built through cutting, folding, layering, and composition.

Each participant will create a sculptural form that embodies a personal “architecture of memory” — a work that reflects the dialogue between space, self, and time. The process encourages a deeper engagement with our surroundings, inviting participants to see space not just as structure, but as a vessel of lived experience.

Takeaways:

* Explore how spaces can evoke emotions and recollections.

* Observe, sketch, and translate visual impressions into form.

* Learn creative construction techniques using folding and layering.

* Build a sculptural artist book inspired by memory and place.

* Reflect on how the act of making transforms experience into visual storytelling.
