5. A futuristic project inspired by memories and childhood explored
the depths of an adult’s recollection. Primary research on potential
clients and local psychologists together with secondary studies on
virtual reality gave birth to a hologram center ‘The Mnemosyne’’.
The center has research facilities on holography, entertainment
holograms and therapeutic holography.

The experience lived with the girls at Darun Nusra orphanage
inspired my final project to be on recollection and childhood. And
bringing to life, quite literally, a memory.

Research into holographic technology, its present and past uses
and other companies that sell holographic products lead to a
viable explanation of using holograms for recollection.
This lead to in depth analysis of the consumer groups my project
may be used by.

Heavy development succeeded in producing a thematic project. I mostly
studied people who have lived lives that took them places and consisted of
much traveling. From this models were made, sketches produced and ideas
derived.
Above shows what was gathered from speaking to a potential client.

represented.

The Holodome
For profit generation to support patient treatments and research,
a large scale Holopod named the Holodome was designed for en-
tertainment holograms. The structure was detailed and appropriate
materials used such as smart-glass.

brand Midnight Divas and helps introduce a new brand image to
Colombo through this temporary outlet named Midnight Divas
After-Hours. The project topped the class in grade average and
was praised for concept exploration mainly.

Current Brand Exploration and New Brand Concept
When studying the lingerie brand I learned it was failing in the market. I chose to change the current brand image of
Midnight Divas and make the pop-up store bring brand awareness rather than to actually make sales. After studying
history’s promiscuous women and the idea of what is “sexy”changing with time, “choosing when to reveal”appealed
to me most. I decided to design the pop-up store made of containers with this concept.

New Brand Concept Studied With the Use of Models
The concept models were made to understand and explain the concept of the store. A name “The Toppit Effect”
was given for the concept.
This helped me decide on the lighting and materials used to express this concept in the design.

The shelving was chosen to bring awareness to the new brand
concept. A centralized display inspired by artist Michael
Johansson’s work was designed. The changing space found at a top
level used only light translucent screens and a Barcelona bench,
for both spaciousness and the concept.

The project consists of an eco retreat and a whale dolphin
research centre. It will provide a solution through design and
reliable business approach to explore what Kalpitiya is famous
for; its cetaceans and its beaches. It speaks of starting a whale and
dolphin observation and research centre facing the lagoon, and an
eco retreat for a high-end consumer group facing the sea. The end
project’s ulitimate goal is preserving Kalpitya for years to come.
