Entry Description

The project uses world-building as a foundation, translating psychological archetype concepts into visual art. Narrative environments theory transforms these concepts into space. Multisensory, interaction, and attraction designs the visitor experiences, creating a theme park with cultural significance. The result transforms six psychological archetypes into different themed spaces and emotional experiences, corresponding to Orphan: Loneliness, Wanderer: Confusion, Warrior: Exploration, Altruist: Share, Innocent: Peace, and Magician: True Self. It creates a journey of exploring the hero within.
