This project began with research into the phenomena of suicide and academic stress. This research inspired and evolved into a simple, deconstructed thesis question: Can space make someone more willing to speak about difficult things, or to divulge their innermost thoughts?
Moving from research questionnaires and interviews with therapists and clergy, this thesis project conducted first-hand research on the relationship between spatial design and self-divulgence. Full-scale testing led to a projected exploration through models, orthographic drawings, diagrams, and collages. These products test possible ways to create a space for communication, in which view, ergonomic relationships, sequence, and physical phenomena play key roles.
In nowadays, communication problem becomes serious within families. However, it is a long term problem and without an exact solution to solve it. So through our design, we hope families can build the communication and environment they comfortable with and to reduce the chance of having communication in the future. In our design, we want the families to build up an outgoing, motivating and mutual relationship when the kids' age of 6 to 8. It is the best time that kids building a habit and receiving value through daily life.
