This book is a collection of essays written by authors from different disciplinary and professional backgrounds, offering various points of view on Mnemosphere, which still does not have an unambiguous definition, drawing inspiration for considerations and insights. The portmanteau is nourished by the interaction between the spheres of memories, emotions, and atmospheres, also the sections into which the volume is divided. Its nature is mutable, metamorphic, open to continuous interpretation. What started as a university research project proves to be an engine of reflection and a design driver for multiple theoretical and applicative fields and disciplines. A new composite word becomes an active tool for culture and design. The nuanced essence of Mnemosphere, an entity without defined boundaries, is not a weak aspect but is embraced as one of the fundamental elements for the open and interdisciplinary encounter of themes and people around a common subject. From colour to photography, from aesthetics to the history of exhibition spaces, from the urban context to the concept of "emptiness", and even to the memory of places.

Mnemosphere is a neologism that enhances our ability to communicate the complex realities we live and experience. It contributes to design research, manifesting itself in a visual exhibition accessible to all, which interpretsits diverse conformations and meanings on an international level.
