About the Book
Yuqiao Guo explores architecture as a primordial "womb," arguing that liquid modernity and digital shifts transform the fixed dream house into a fluid, emergent experience.
From the womb—humankind’s first fully enclosed space—to houses, cities, and nations, architecture has always sought to reproduce that primordial experience of being enveloped. Yet in the context of what Zygmunt Bauman calls liquid modernity—marked by the transformation of family structures, the restructuring of intimate relationships, and the penetration of digital technology into private life—the traditional notion of home is no longer a fixed location, but a temporarily emergent structure.
