New Pedagogies: Intermundium: Labyrinth of Invisible Narratives

This course reimagines the Cabinet of Curiosities as an immersive space for lost stories, spectral histories and unstable memories. Rather than housing objects, these cabinets become architectures of transformation — where narratives dissolve, reassemble and unfold in unexpected ways.

Students construct speculative memory machines and bizarre viewing devices —architectural instruments that distort, reveal and reframe forgotten pasts and imagined futures. Through counterfactual inquiry, we ask: What if history had unfolded differently? Artificial Intelligence becomes a collaborator — an apparatus of memory and hallucination — used to generate alternate historical trajectories and architectural fictions.

Projects blend drawing, narrative and performative representation to create works that are not static depictions but evolving, participatory artefacts. Memory becomes spatial, porous and active —revealing itself through layers, textures and shifting frames of perception.

Architecture emerges here as a vessel for reimagining what the past could have been — and what futures might still be possible.
