Brief About The Project: 

In a time of global conflicts and traumatic circumstances, humans appear to be in constant movement searching for a place to belong. It is our role as architects to provide them with a space that is of their own creation and that best fits their needs.
“Interface | re-imagining home” is a project that targets people with a background of displacement; people who lived away from their homeland and lost their home. It takes shape in the form of an accessible mobile application called [be]long employing the use of architectural drawings, allowing the user to build a virtual space that he accesses with his family using a VR gear to allow the reconciling with a lost “home”.
