There are about 3,500 people living in the Seoul Dosshouse, including Namdaemun, Dongdaemun, Donui-dong, Changshin-dong, and Yeongdeungpo. The daytime temperature in the Dosshouse is 43 degrees and the indoor temperature is 35 degrees, which is also higher than the surrouding area. Most of them live in one-person the poor strata, where they have been fighting the heat and the summer. The old building is closely located and a 1.5-pyeong room without windows is a hot environment. Water, air-conditioning is difficult or impossible for people who are economically inferior and cannot solve their own solutions. The solution that can be provided by the country is to heat up once or twice a day by fire hose or shelter. However, there are many patients with discomfort, the distance is far, and the effect is insignificant. Therefore, through this experiment by using discarded banner, I would like to suggest a way to solve the summere heat of the Dosshouse.
