Studio Mobility n Memory
Studio Mobility and Memory is a project-based research platform that investigates how urban mobility infrastructure connects people and places, data and memory, while transforming the structure of cities and everyday urban life.
The Studio identifies and examines spaces of mobility infrastructure that have often remained overlooked. It maps the physical realities of cities, documents the data generated by movement, and develops these records into multiple layers of interpretation.
Through this process, we explore how urban infrastructure operates, how it is transformed over time, and how it may shape future spatial change.
Studio Mobility n Memory
Studio Mobility and Memory is a project-based research platform that examines how urban mobility infrastructure connects people and places, data and memory, while transforming cities.
By documenting and interpreting infrastructure spaces and movement data, the Studio explores urban change over time and future spatial possibilities.
Why Mobility and Memory?
Mobility keeps the city in motion, while Memory enables us to understand it.
Mobility
- The movement of people, goods, information, and data
- Networks that connect cities and places
- Transport infrastructure and spatial structures
Memory
- Records and data generated through movement
- Urban history and archives
- Analysis, interpretation, and proposals for the future
Everyday Heritage as Urban Infrastructure
Urban infrastructure does not always exist in ways that are immediately visible.
As we pass through it each day, use it repeatedly, and accept it as part of the ordinary urban background, the patterns of everyday life and mobility take shape around its structures.
Once established, railway stations, tunnels, underground spaces, and transfer systems rarely disappear. Instead, they continue to influence the direction and rhythm of cities over extended periods of time.
Studio Mobility and Memory approaches such infrastructure not simply as a remnant of the past to be preserved,
but as Everyday Infrastructure Heritage—a living system that continues to sustain the contemporary city while preparing the ground for future spatial transformation.
Urban infrastructure often operates as the background of everyday life, shaping patterns of living and mobility while influencing the direction and rhythm of cities over time.
Studio Mobility and Memory understands it as Everyday Infrastructure Heritage—
a living system that sustains the contemporary city and prepares for future spatial change.

Architect · Ph.D. · Associate Professor
An architectural and urban infrastructure researcher
studying the relationships between railways, architecture, cities, and history.
Her research examines mobility infrastructure and urban flows at the intersection of
railways, architecture, urbanism, and history.
Through spatial data and archival records, she interprets the meaning of spatial change.
