Abstract
Social media is becoming an increasingly important part of our everyday lives, and it is key that researchers understand how to utilize this public data (Blakey, 2018, Kilburn, 2018). Social media platforms have shaped a culture of sharing experiences and lifestyles, which has created a demand for “Instagrammable” spaces (Valé Architects, 2018). This emerging concept asks the questions: what types of environments are humans drawn to via social media culture, and how can this impact our approach as interior designers? Technological advances create endless possibilities in the design of the built environment, especially in the area of immersive design. Experiential museums lead this movement (Pardes, 2017). However, previous research about these immersive spaces is limited. To fill this gap, this study aims to identify “Instagrammable” interior design elements of experiential museums. The study takes a quantitative approach, a visual analysis, with the main source of data collection within the social media analysis process to further understand the design features that create these immersive environments. This strategy was chosen because Instagram images are easily accessible and often demonstrate an individual’s perception of the world around them (Serafinelli, 2017).
