The theme of this year, ``Design Beyond East & West for the Dual Income Single Child Family" is in step with the current social changes such as the shared housework between men and women and the reduced workload of the housewife through easy usages of electronic appliances. In the one child family, all the members usually go out in the morning to work or school work and return home in the evening. That is, all 3 members are active and a new living environment which corresponds to this lifestyle is required.

Therefore Hanssem has found three key words which may lead the creation of a new convenient living space for the 21st Century.

The first keyword is " digitalized space ". The domain of control over time and space which Internet usage imposes is increasing. Pursuit of digitalized space design, ``Design for Digitalized Space" is required. This new space must also coincide with the individual desires of each family member and must be created as a space where communication, cooperation and binding among family members can harmoniously take place.
The second keyword is "kitchen culture". An intelligent kitchen may be a cooking space where utility and convenience are adapted to a kitchen, yet now, a cultural meaning should be added to the kitchen, as a space where family members gather and share their warm talks together. In other words, the kitchen is a SPACE ADAPTED TO LIFE. The so-called ``CULTURAL KITCHEN", as a new concept, is expected to be a small cultural plaza for family members.

The third keyword is a " new inner environment for children". Various media such as Internet, multi-media, and multi-channel TV are giving our children a wider range of choices. Also, as the general living standard improves, children have access to a greater amount of furniture and products in their rooms and their physical growth patterns are changing. The relationship between parents and children, body and furniture, mass of information and products, space and spirit have to be re-established. To nurture the healthy, original and competent leaders of our future, a ``Creative Kid Room" must be proposed.
