i want to create my own place in my mind
you can check this link.
To create a building (virtual or real) from scratch like an architect, you have to study a lot of buildings.
i have seen it , but how to memorize this art or book, I don,t know
Visiting that palace as an imaginary will make you remember. After a while, that place will become familiar like your home.

I had visited my first memory palace with my eyes closed. In the next days I didn’t need it anymore.
but how can i do this with art
The basic principle of memory palaces is the same. it doesn’t matter if it’s an artistic work or your own house. For example, if you have a house, it has an entrance door. When you enter the house, there is the living room immediately on the right. It has a kitchen. Visit the rooms in a certain order. If you have a work of art memory palace, set your starting point and proceed. works of art also have an introduction, development and conclusion sections.

A nice part about creating your own imaginary palace is that you can designate the number of rooms/loci within to perfectly match the data you’ll be using it for.
I disagree slightly with the idea that you need to study lots of buildings. If you can imagine a space, you can lay out a series of spaces that are connected logically and there you have it!
I think it can help to physically sketch out a bird’s-eye view floorplan of your imagined space on paper or in a drawing program, this can further reinforce the path you’ll travel, and give you a reference when learning your loci

Divide in small parts, you don’t want to eyeball in one go, divide each part of the painting, in smaller squares, as if it were a puzzle, do it in a logical order for you, from left to right or upside down, or from the center of the painting.

In a short time you will see your palace completed, your brain seeks to be efficient in order not to consume more energy than necessary, so with time, you will be faster and the process will be automatic.

and in this space, can i study multi-language ?
and if i study a language , i should study vocab with the alphabet or study with the topic ? ( in memory place )
With the alphabet, it is even easier, it is a way to organize the information, I also use a list of characters from A-Z and from Aa-Zu, that I use for vocabulary, and grammar, the best thing is that you start working with what you have, the memorized words you can connect them with others and it will be even easier, if the memory objects that you used in your palace, do not stay it is better that you change or modify them, repetition is a very good tool so that you do not forget your objects.

I don’t know as I’ve never designed a building before, but I don’t think it’s an easy task. When I sit at the head of a drawing program, I may have to skim through a few (not lots of; I admit) sample building designs.
You can use a particular place to store other places, this practice was practiced by “giordano bruno”, use a known place to store one that is not known, such as noun places and adjective places, when you want to store an unfamiliar place in your mind observe it in a three-dimensional way, with movements, colors, with a life of its own.
Substantive places are those physical spaces that exist within a literary work that allow for exploration and interaction with other characters. In Giordano Bruno’s “De Imaginum”, the substantive places are the parallel and imaginary worlds that the author describes, such as the world of angels, the realm of souls, the world of the elements, the realm of ideas and the paradise of the gods. An example of these places would be the world of angels, where the characters of the work meet to talk and discuss topics related to the spiritual world and knowledge.
Adjective places are those places created by the imagination, even if they are not real. These places can be used to tell stories, to express emotions, or to find inspiration. An example might be a place known as “the wishing forest,” a magical place where human wishes come true.
Maybe start with a basic room. Imagine a cube shaped room. Decide what the room is… Is it a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom? Pick 5 things that would be found in that type of room, place them in a sensible arrangement around the room. Then figure out where your exit doorway would be. Imagine a small connecting hallway to the next room. In that room, repeat the process.
On paper, you can make a simple bird’s-eye view drawing. Draw a square for your first room, indicate the loci items in it either by drawing them or writing them in, then draw a simple hallway to the next room. If you can think of 5 types of rooms with just 5 loci in each, you’ll have a nice functional 25 loci palace.
My observations: A few people have talked about success on the forum in using memory palaces for learning languages. Others have said it doesn’t work well for memorizing vocabulary, perhaps because it is not ordered and not very structured.
Far more have praised flash cards with spaced repetition (e.g. the Anki phone apps or web site, but there are other good ones too) for learning language vocabulary.
(Technically, flashcards with spaced repetition is a review system that does not designate whether you use rote memorization or memory palace or other technique to remember each card, but probably in practice most people use them with rote memorization.)
My take: The end goal is learning, and the tools should serve that goal. It might be worthwhile to use memory palaces if you are already really good with using memory palaces, including creating palaces on-the-fly and packing them with lots of information. Otherwise it might be better to consider using flashcards.
I am starting to wonder if a good hybrid way to learn might be to use Anki for vocabulary and memory palaces for grammar rules.
From my own experience, you can use a combination of both, the palaces and the repetition, the palace you will have to organize, everything takes effort.

The only difference of the repetition with the palaces, is to observe which words have escaped you, or if you have to change the memory object that you used for that word, the repetition without the help of a palace, will be a much bigger work than organizing a memory palace, besides you could organize it every 100 words. I have 108 words in every 2 rooms, dividing the walls into 9-8 points where I place objects, often in a single point I usually group 5-7 objects, creating a story chained to that object, since almost always the first object brings me the other objects, the work with a palace will be much easier than the single task of repeating words.
