Abstract
This research process invites you to delve into the potential of the intangible, where space, time, and emotion intertwine to craft compelling narratives. This presentation showcases a dynamic transdisciplinary collaboration, exploring how the interplay of affect, space, and atmosphere becomes a canvas for limitless creative possibilities. At its heart, the work challenges traditional design paradigms, inviting audiences to perceive the atmosphere as more than a backdrop—an active participant in the creative process. By integrating the ephemeral qualities of time and space, this exploration examines how emotional resonance transforms physical environments into evocative experiences. The paper highlights works in progress, emphasizing the process of discovery and experimentation over finality. Through a convergence of artistic and design practices, it reveals how the intangible layers of atmosphere can evoke powerful emotional connections. Participants are invited to immerse themselves in this collaborative journey, unravelling the hidden narratives that reside within the interplay of the physical and the affective. This presentation illuminates the transformative potential of emotive atmospheres and fosters a dialogue on the role of design in shaping human experience. Reimagining the boundaries of materiality and imagination offers a glimpse into a future where design embraces the invisible yet profoundly impactful dimensions of the world around us.
