Experience and perception of places change as our memories of them develop and grow, how does this dynamic perception of a place come into account in a design? And how can the design express this change and in this way become a mnemonic device. This is tested on the specific case of 'Cañada Real Galiana', a strip that used to be a cattle trail and is now filled with illegal housing, located in the outskirts of Madrid. This place, dissimilar to regulated organised built areas, creates an extreme change in perception as memories of it develop since one has fewer preconceived notions of it.
