Abstract

This short paper puts forward the outcomes of the workshop related to information visualization for the archive of memories linked to urban soundscapes. Memories as well as urban soundscapes are integral parts of cultural heritage and deserve to be protected for maintaining cultural identity. It becomes very urgent to start protecting especially those which are at risk of getting lost in current daily life conditions that have been changed due to the pandemic. This study was carried out by employing a collaborative visualization design workshop method which is a user-centred workshop structure for gathering ideas on information visualization. The main contributions of this paper are (1) evaluating the method used in this study and offering further adaptations for general use of design researchers in the field, and (2) discussing the outcomes of the study which may be beneficial for researchers working at the intersection of cultural heritage studies and design.
