specific program or a space that your current house is lacking? No! It's not about how big the house is or how does it look. + + So what's the problem? + I just can't feel it. + I want to be able to smell my mom + + + +

student is an individual who has physically crossed an international border between two countries with the objective to participate in educational activities in a destination country, where the destination country is different from his or her country of origin.” (UNESCO, 2015)
+ + In 2017, there were over 5.3
million international students, up from 2 million in 2000 (UNESCO, 2019).
+ More than half of these were
enrolled in educational programs in six countries: The United States of America, the United Kingdom, Australia, France, Germany and the Russian Federation. Prominent sending countries of international students include China, India, Germany, Republic of Korea, Nigeria, France, Saudi Arabia and several Central Asian countries (ibid).
Me!
+ + Not only the 5.3 million
students but their families and loved ones are suffering from the lack of virtual communication technologies focusing on the transferring of all perceptual senses( touch- smell- sight soundtaste) which this project is trying to illustrate how a designed combination of perception of senses are shaping a space rather than typical known elements like walls and ceilings. + The design is focusing on illustration of four scenes showing idealistic scenarios of me and my family diningsleeping-gathering together while physically being thousands of miles apart from each other.
