MEMORABILIA, Expression of Space, Application of Style.

This is a concept retail space especially design for music appreciation. The set-up and arrangement of merchandise with the help of displays system is the main concern in designing the outlet to attract customer’s attention. A place which only focuses on a specialty. A space that offered a unique style of design to enhance and introduce the selected music genre with an unusual experience to engage the customer in a way they are not likely to forget.

Task: We were to design a music retail store that would be more like a one stop center specifically selling products that is needed and related to the music, spark new interest by providing space to introduce the music and gain more followers to the genre. The store will be located at an intermediate lot of a shopping area in Kuala Lumpur.

We had to consider the experience of our socio-culture, art and environment of urban living. To achieve this, we were to design a functional space, which includes display, product info and memorable customer experience with interesting activities that are related to the music experience.

The areas that were suppose be in the retail store were: i. Entrance ii. Display Zone iii. Activities (interactive) Zone (related to product) iv. Purchasing Area (Payment Counter) v. Listening Booth vi. Stock Room/Storage.

For this project, we were be given a ‘design style” to incorporate with. The style I was given was "FUTURISTIC".
