2020 ADA Award Theme: Towards the social design
Social design is the design that is mindful of the designer’s role and responsibility in society, and of the use of the design process to bring about social change. Social design is also a critical discipline that challenges the pure market-orienteers of conventional design practice and attempts to see past this into a more inclusive conception of design, in which user groups who are marginalized are also given priority.

The research has been presented in MIng Tang’s Paper “Social distancing and behavior modeling with Agent-based simulation” at the CAAD Future 2021 conference. The project was exhibited in 2021 DAAPcares.
This is a collective project with 35 students from the VIZ-III course to create a metaverse collectively. Bus stops were designed in Rhino, 3dsmax, Revit, or Sketch-up and brought into Unreal. Please download the demo zip file ( 800MB) here.
