Past Research
My previous thesis research was developing a design method from a scientific movie, Inception (2010), directed by Christopher Nolan, to be an Inception space. This mental space has five design mechanisms for a specific user as an object who will be unconsciously implanted with new ideas. In this case, a new idea of wayfinding was planted in a user with dementia with memory and visuospatial deficit. The result is a new design and some features of a pathway from and to the subject's house as a base and meunasah, a small mosque, as the center of the labyrinth.
