Due to natural and human factors, dunhuang frescoes in China have gradually degenerated. China has conducted digital transformation of frescoes since 1990. However, it requires expensive research costs. Most of the visitors passively accept transformation contents and lack subjective participation. The paper focuses on produces a prototype of Dunhuang frescoes on the CoSpaces EDU. It was implemented as a metaverse through procedures such as transforming the cave into 3D, mapping images to the cave model and developing CoBlocks. The research puts forward a more specific methodology without expensive costs of development. The paper makes it easier to realize the immersive and interactive virtual Dunhuang frescoes world, to improve the tourism contents and educational effect. This research carries on the statistics to the product result which develops according to the user experience of 100 different ages, has obtained the good feedback. The research results need to be improved is to strengthen the processing of graphic details. Therefore, Optimization and improvement of the result will be carried out in the future research.

Stress induces change to the body functions and causes chronic problems such as worsening a disease. Thus, humans want to evade anxiety and would try any means to reduce stressful situations. Generally, a person would handle their stress by either regulating their emotions or merely coping with the situation, for which the former is most widely used. Our research aims to effectively reduce stress by using the emotional response structure developed by Plutichik and the vitalization method. We extracted the relevant components of the stress-reduction method that would be applicable in any space using digital technologies such as sensors, IoT, and augmented reality. An architect or designer may incorporate these structural components into any structure to effectively reduce people's stress. The research aims to provide a new perspective of architectural space and to show applications of the stress-reducing architectural spaces, which should also fulfill the people's needs. Further research is needed to develop an automatic system to utilize spatial components more effectively.

Recent advances in healthcare-adapted devices, the increase in chronic diseases and the increasing social needs due to aging, trigger the development of smart healthcare systems and present a new medical paradigm. As a result, moves are being made to accommodate the changing healthcare concept of modern residential areas. In particular, the bathrooms in residential areas are becoming diverse as medical spaces with various types of bathroom culture. Therefore, by actively utilizing the digital medical procedure 3, the smart health care system was applied, I thought about future bathroom products (like smart shower and smart scales) and searched for the technology necessary for each person's needs. By planning a product suitable for a changing bathroom, it will be useful for the development of smart healthcare technology through future national and policy improvements in preparation for the age of the fourth industrial revolution.

Louis Sullivan insisted, "Form follows function." Functionality is one of the most fundamental elements for users to use product or space, and "function" in space and architecture has the meaning of the most important factor in determining its form. In this way, from the viewpoint of "Functionalism," the research selected Toyo Ito to see how important elements pursued by Functionalism are related to his forms of creation. Small residential space projects of Toyo Ito from the early 1970s to the present are selected, so that the structure, material and space type of space and architecture can easily grasped and analyzed. Space and architectural structures and surfaces were classified into the characteristics of materials and classified according to the strength of openness of space. As a result, the space and architecture that pursue the function use a method that can maximize the efficiency of the function while excluding the whole decoration in order to highlight the function. The characteristics found in Toyo Ito's small-scale residential space can be defined as the formalization and simplification of the form, the openness of space, and the versatility of each element.

Brand Extension is a leading marketing strategy that makes use of brand assets, and it aims to see the success of a new product of a brand by utilizing the level of consumers' brand awareness, loyalty, resemblance, and image. However, the review of previous studies revealed that there were cases of fashion brands extending into coffee brands, but not vice versa. The study aims to suggest a new proposal to extend the coffee brand, the most preferred brand by consumers, to an effective office space service. It proposes making a napping and working area for the working Starbucks lovers who often go business trips and like to work in a private space. The researcher expects that the study will inform about the efficient manner to use office spaces including shared service and area.
