The goal of Housing works is to infuse the “giver group” (donators) with the virtual life of the “receiver group” (hiv positive), trying to shift the recognition of givers towards housing works from individual business entity into a deeper level of the essence of the organization: to terminate aids in 20 years.
The project/design is the force that bring these two groups interconnected by visualizing the virus inside blood, invoking the resonance, sympathy and emotions by observing the unseen working backgrounds of housing works.
