Research Study “The Memory of Place,” Realized in Lisbon on the Basis of the A/r/t/ography Concept

Abstract

The research study "The Memory of Place" follows on the "Pathways" study realized as a workshop in March 2017 at the Lisbon Polytechnic Institute's College of Education in Portugal. The subject of the study is the mutual interaction and overlap between architecture, art, and art education, and the common "language" shared by these fields. The main research tool is the collection of students' verbal and artistic statements, which help the researcher to understand the influences and relationships that help to shape young people's attitudes towards the history of a particular place and thus affect how they perceive this place.
