In this project, we want to discuss post-war issues. In our research, post-war problems often appeal as two main problems: First, the separate of communities and the loss of contact between people due to they fleeing to all other countries, and Second, the destruction of buildings and the inability of people to participate effectively in the post-war reconstruction.

Over the past hundred years, Germany, Japan, Syria, and Ukraine have all been hit hard by war. Germany and Japan have recovered well from the war, but countries like Syria remains in ruins to this day.

As for the war in Ukraine, it is still unknown whether people will be able to return home and whether the city will be rebuilt.

So, in today’s information age, what should we do to rewrite the history that seems already has its ending? How can we achieve to help post-war countries, re-establish relationships and offer possibilities for post-war reconstruction?

So we envisioned the system HYPER PARLIAMENT. This system exists in a virtual world where people can build, learn, communicate, visit, and play on the basis of the post-war ruins.
