There is a group of people in modern cities called "Urban Nomads, who migrate, work and live all over the world without limitation of location. Most of them live in modular spaces such as apartments and dormitories, hotels and so on. Such uniform space, to some extent, contrary to people's expectations and imagination of the home. It is also more unable to meet people's pursuit of higher and higher quality of life. So, we want to provide a reference for the public through the exhibition Time Sojourners, which not only has a sense of the future of science fiction, but also covers time and space. The exhibition is divided into orderly small spaces like motel rooms. By means of elaborate design of each space, the flexibility and uniqueness of people's home are shown. The open and free future space presented in the exhibition provides "Urban Nomads” with a refuge from noise, confusion, congestion, bad weather and risk. And represents a place of peace, individuality, kindness, rooting and self-protection. Let them have a unique high-quality personal home under similar shells, which is fully in line with their personal preferences.
