The psychological space of “home” exists between reality, imagination, memory, and dreams, consolidating oppositions. This art book is an exploration of “home” and “homeland.” It is a collection of childhood memoirs of Chinese millennials and a reflection upon modern metropolis, addressing it in personal and fictional ways. Nostalgia is the pain of unable to return to home. In Part I, eight childhood home spaces compose a collective memory at the turn of the century. Uncanny, or unheimlich, is the uneasiness in the most familiar setting. In Part II, tales about four fictional cities embody our thoughts on modern urban lives.

“家”的精神空间处于现实、想象、记忆与梦境之间,包含着矛盾与对立的事物。 这本艺术书是对于“家宅”和“故乡”的探索,它是九零后一代对童年空间的追忆,也是建筑师对现代城市的反思。沙丘研究所希望通过私人的和虚构的方式 来理解它。 “怀乡”一词指的是由于无法归乡而产生的痛苦。在第一部分,八个童年空间构 成了一个关于世纪之交的集体记忆。“ 异样”一词指的是即便身处居所之中, 但内心未得到安宁的生活状态。第二部分,四个虚构故事构成了对当代城市生 活的反思。
