“Forget me not” is an introspective journey of what it means to belong to a place and can be seen as a process of dealing with the inevitable future of one day losing it. The eminent conditions of inland settlements in northern Sweden and the depopulation raises the question of what will be left behind? The project explores how the inherent phenomenology of a rather inconspicuous place can be identified, explored, materialized and framed in order to convey its story- creating a memory that remains. This report presents the true nature of the thesis and process. The theoretical framework on nostalgia, phenomenology of place, architecture and memories, and nostalgia support the work conducted in synthesis. The theoretical and practical explorations are interconnected and together they explore the notion of a particular place and how its characters (genius loci) can generate and inspire new ideas and architecture.
