In complex and diverse contemporary society, architectural design and community design require techniques for representing
numerically and visually various information of changes in nature and social environment; furthermore, knowledge, process,
and methodology to find out and solve specific problems in regions and places.
SAWADALAB aims to improve the skills of architectural design to realize social needs, through practical studies for “Problem-finding
and solving in the area” and “Emergence of Collaboration” based on System thinking and Design thinking, utilizing BIM (Building
Information Modeling) and ICT (Information and Communications Technology).
In Undergraduate Thesis Research 1, students find problems, identify issues, and simulate the solutions for actual
areas using the survey and analysis method of regional information acquired by grade 3.
