The Granton Memory Museum integrates sustainable technologies with traditional materials. The use of rammed earth and raw earth is complemented by modern design techniques such as green roofs, energy-efficient lighting, and climate control systems that mitigate the effects of humidity and temperature fluctuations caused by flooding. The museum is designed with interactive spaces that actively involve the community in the preservation of their heritage. These spaces include multimedia installations that allow visitors to explore historical events through virtual reality, bringing the past to life in a compelling and immersive manner. Additionally, the museum hosts workshops and seminars on environmental awareness and cultural preservation, acting as a hub for community education and engagement. The museum’s layout is designed for quick adaptation, with modular walls and flexible gallery spaces that can be reconfigured as needed based on current exhibitions and environmental conditions. Beyond physical artifacts, the Granton Memory Museum also focuses on the preservation of intangible heritage, such as local folklore, music, and oral histories. Special audio stations and recording booths are set up within the museum for visitors to listen to and record their stories, ensuring that these oral traditions continue to be passed down through generations. The Granton Memory Museum not only serves as a custodian of the past but also as a pioneer in the sustainable preservation of culture, demonstrating a proactive approach to the challenges posed by a changing climate.
