Abstract: 

This paper looks at how we experience cities and how that experience could influence the way in which we represent a city.

The paper is laid out as a framework for designers to consider when developing mementos aimed at a tourist market. A range of interpretations of the city are examined, from its urban form and structure to its symbolic significance. It looks at the narratives and images contained within the city, as well as the scope of personal experiences and multiple perspectives by which the city may be viewed. It aims to inspire all design practitioners to reflect on the rich potential a city offers for creating distinctive objects.

The focus of the study will be on Sydney.
