City Memory Game

City Memory Game

Proposal/Official document

The game is about the many and unexpected events and personal memories that make up a city. The objective is to augment the approach of designers and the community in general to the subject of urban planning, and suggest alternate solutions based on notions of play.

- a city is a collection of spatial and experiential fragments and episodes
- these episodes dwell in the minds and memories of the city’s residents
- what is your most memorable place/spatial condition/experience in the city?
- the design community is asked to answer this question in form of a sketch, drawing, photograph, etc.
- the goal is to construct a ‘catalog of memories’ or ‘city memory game’ - that represents rich sensory experiences of the city
- the next step is to introduce this ‘memory game’ to the broader community as a guide, inspiration, or catalog of recipes as basis for discussion and action
- the game users would filter the memories, possibly add their own and apply the ideas derived from them to improve challenging urban conditions

Memories of many can reveal the fundamentals of behaviors and feelings. I like this game, and I think it could reveal a lot of information that would be useful in city planning and design.
