Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 設計學系 === 103 === In our rapidly changing world, human society continues to have more complex and diverse social problems this century than in the last century. In order to understand the enormous challenges of these social problems, reading large amounts of unorganized information is necessary, but becomes burdensome and is not easily spread. In recent years, social issues such as: Global inequality, Hidden secrets of money, The Israeli/Palestinian war, use information design. They focus on the clarity of information, human understanding and scientific organizations, (such as the Graphic Design Archive (2014)proposal in 2014), to obtain a substantial increase in public awareness of the complicated social issues. This therefore has made information design become a trend. An information designer plays two roles in this trend as follows: 1st. Rearranging information, 2nd. Information design. This study focuses on social housing which needs urgent attention as a theme, 1st. Rearrange information: collect discourse of Taiwan’s social housing problems, European social housing development and design thinking, then rearrange the information through the design thinking process to see social housing as a design strategy to solve social issues. 2nd. Information design: collect information design exposition and design cases of information designed for social housing, review these cases with "information design as the sum of function, flow and form" proposed by Ladislav Sutnar (1897-1976) as a principle. Lastly apply the conclusion to design work. There are 5 topics as follows: "Housing shortage caused by social upheaval", "Government responses of housing shortage", “Housing reform 1914”, “Environmental Sustainability”, “The pursuit of quality and quantity”. Information design makes it easier for the public to understand social housing. Through this study, I hope to bring a new concept of thinking for social housing to the people in Taiwan, and contribute to promote Taiwan becoming a country that has a great social housing policy.
