2085 Narrative
In 2085, the world has been transformed by technology. Cities are overpopulated, with advanced buildings rapidly constructed to meet demand. AI dominates daily life, making human tasks increasingly automated. As a result, greenhouse gases have peaked, and technological barriers now enclose cities to shield populations from extreme climate conditions. To preserve the past and offer a break from tech-driven life, the Department of Remembrance was formed. It protects key historical sites where people can reconnect with human history. One such place is the Papplewick Pumping Station, offering an immersive experience into the origins of film and cinema, allowing visitors to glimpse life as it was in 1891.
Spatial Concept
In 2085, a world driven by technology and transformation reflects the very essence of movement. The Kinetoscope—one of the first devices to capture motion—serves as a metaphor for this ongoing change. It inspires The Kin, a Remembrance Workshop designed to help individuals disconnect from modern life and reconnect with the past. The space reflects the origins of film and cinema, offering an immersive experience rooted in history, movement, and innovation. Through zones for energy production, object preservation, and interactive workshops, The Kin supports personal and collective remembrance, allowing visitors to reflect on how early technology shaped our understanding of the world
