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.
