Course description
The tutorial of this course for each student could be provided in English but the Japanese students who present at the midterm and final presentation will speak in Japanese without translation.

In the first quarter of the semester, you are expected to design a new Fukagawa library.
https://www.koto-lib.tokyo.jp/023_lib_fuka.html
You may design a completely NEW library on the same site or add some annex building and renovate the exiting one.
If you think it is necessary, you can move the site for the new library to the different place.
You are expected to design the most reasonable and attractive library for the local people.
One of the important issue is how to well connect the library with adjoining Kiyosumi Park and Kiyosumi Garden.
