NOSTOS-Take Me Home
And now at present, Nostalgia looms large to be a channel, Here am I and yonder my Continent. —— Guangzhong Yu The service goal of this project is to help overseas Chinese students handle the stress and feelings of homesickness that many people experience while studying abroad through a series of designed products. For Chinese students studying abroad, the smell of their hometown is can help to alleviate homesickness. Smells like freshly roasted coffee beans, grass after rain, the ink used in a letter and the smell of a mother’s cooking all help to evoke emotional memories. This study analyses the power of smell through the Proustain Hypothesis and poetry about yearning for hometowns. Based on interviews with Chinese students and personal experiences, a serie of products has been designed as a bridge to link users with their hometowns.
