Title
Bikon: Warm-Hearted Movements
Abstract
In the winter of 2012, a grandmother and her grandson burned to death in their home in Jeollanam-do, South Korea. The cause of fire was a candle which was lit to light up a cramped room, since they weren't able to pay electricity bills. Like the deceased of this incident, energy poor are continuously exposed to life threatening-either directly or indirectly-danger. On the other hand, there is a dilemma of lightings in Hangang, the river of Seoul. Since earlier this year Government of Seoul decided to reduce the lighting hour of Hangang from 5hrs/day to 3hrs/day in order to save budget but ended up using more. Project Bikon started from a suggestion to relate and solve both energy poor and Hangang lighting issue. The needs and solutions of the project were defined based on the research on statistics and interviews of each user groups.
