Title Maybe?
Superimposing an Image Architecture: A Spatial Condition to Awaken the Senses and Establish One's Place Within Context
I want to create a spatial condition that awakens our senses (our memories) in order to engage us within our context (to make us care about where we live/ how we live). I do this by referencing my own memories and understanding of a place, to use a methodology that uses imagery (that is a reference to cinematography but is otherwise architecturally framing context) as a means of bringing emphasis and importance to the overall context (to things so striking to us that they awaken our senses).
what will this do? when these senses are awaken, when we are reminded of who we are, where we come from, .... these are the things that defines us.... maybe what we need is an architecture that will define us. (I'm not sure what that means... is there a moral standard for creating architecture? whose to say our standards wont conflict with others? how do we create architecture that is universal in dialogue.... that will speak to everyone of any background.)

"I PROPOSE..."
"what is required is an architecture that will counter the effects of detaching sensorial experiences" created by architecture and urban landscapes that does not speak to the people on a personal level...
Sense of Home
so heres the idea,
what creates our sense of place or home is created through a recollection of memories ingrained within our childhood to our adulthood. within these experiential happenings, we've extracted from them, moments of comfort that we retreat to when we're alienated from what we know to be comforting or thrown into uncomfortable circumstances that is outside of our comfort zone, perhaps in your case, a new country... city, home...etc. we all define these senses differently as there rooted from our own individual circumstances.... perhaps what is required then (to re-establish a sense of home) in a moment of disconnect is a "thing," ... object, installation, spatial happening, architecture within the everyday life that can act or react to people of different backgrounds "universally" to awaken these memories of comfort, to re-establish our sense of home in a place that may not be our home, within the physical context.
maybe by emphasizing on a new method (film or photography) for designing/framing and experiencing space, one can awaken these forgotten memories.
however the proposed design is not meant to preserve memory by objectifying the context into a literal sense of representation but to represent context in a manner (how this is done, i don't know) that will awaken these personal senses of comfort, re-establishing our sense of home and place.
