RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
This research focuses on how to help the global pandemic with innovative design idea for general public, and conducted during the 2020 Spring semester at the National Taiwan Normal University, the department of design. The research is pedagogical approach to the design thinking method of identifying problem and exam through prototyping. To address the critical issues during the global pandemic, the research investigated the social conditions and needs what could be the innovative solution to specific problem.
CHALLENGE:
The most challenging part of this research was to understand the global needs. Since this research conducted in Taiwan where one of the least impacted counties so far from the COVID-19, it was essential to create large hypothesis of each countries programmatic condition.
