Design Process - Blog 5 (Culture & Creativity)

There are debates on whether small living spaces are the current trend or cultural movement. Nowadays, people live in small living spaces and it seems to be growing rapidly. Urban flats have been increasing to suit urban people's lifestyle. As a result, interactivity and sense of community have been lacking and thus becoming a great threat to the society development.

People think of living spaces as the only living room most of the times and do not consider them as a place for great interaction with people around them. Hence, as years go by, people tend to lack of communication and connection with others. All of these contribute to serious society distance. Technology may have help us to venture further but it does not make us connect closer in terms of psychological state in individuals. This can pose great problems in later years.

Hence, it is essential to make use of small living spaces to emphasize on the communication with neighbours.
