Research methodology
Primary Research
I am interested to travel to Huis Ten Bosch, Nagasaki; to investigate how the Japanese’s obsession with the importation and adaptation of foreign culture through architecture gave rise to immersive experiences preceded by but variant to that of the ‘theme park’. Much as Japan’s ‘Little Worlds’ and the Pavilions of the World Exhibitions serve to critique and bridge the gap between rapidly expanding industrialisation and culture. Therefore, I wish to complete an investigation of the social, environmental and political phenomena on site. Study the phenomena that caused them to be built. What worked and what didn’t and what is the way forward?
Secondary Research
Empirical data collected by personal interviews:
Artists
Conduct interviews to establish what strategies they adopted to choose the places they live and set up business and why to begin to understand 'the trend'. Question them what they think are the key ingredients that artists need to be successful.
The Directors and Curators of Museums
To discuss the business acumen necessary for the Creative Industries to be successful in the Material Economy. To establish which factors they think are success. By studying the theories of Economics that drive Creative Industries, this may give special insight into the industry and highlight other dynamic factors necessary for successful Creative Industry.
Architects
Conduct interviews with those who have been designing cultural/social spaces to draw on their expertise of what they believe are the necessary factors for such spaces to be successful.
