NODEM 2014 Proceedings

Confabulated Architecture
This could develop as a workshop series using Lego or 3D printing, asking participants to create from their own
imagination based on the text description of museums in other sites. In contrast to the project described in this
paper, the 3D objects would be created by participants themselves.
Social media is now leading a change of museum access and visitor experience, both virtual and physical.
However, we are deluded into mediated experience as we have a tendency to use web-based network tools
to search information, and this informs personal memory mixed with illusion and afterimages from online
search.
Further details of the project are below:

Acknowledgements
This project was in collaboration with Sir John Soane’s Museum. I appreciate all participants who took some of
their time to help in this project and the ‘Space Program-HeadSpace’ project leader Kevin Walker.
