RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We researched and observed 107 families, 290 persons, and 63% pointed out that they have families who need to work late at night to get home. The design team will entirely focus on the topic of community and its related issues like future living. Existing social media was not built for alone people in the night information sharing. Nor does it ensure a fast, effortless, and calm emergency response.
CHALLENGE: The biggest challenge of the designing process is always how to combine all the residents' voices. Therefore, strategy and design become a very important part and has an essential role in this complex process of creation.
