Course description

　　This class is a workshop to learn practically and experimentally that are related integrally three fields of Architectural Design, Urban & Regional Planning, and Environmental Systems Engineering; furthermore, it is also a Project-based learning (PBL) to solve the specific regional problems in the particular area.
　　Students will learn to develop and make a presentation of the architectural design proposal (Architectural design, Structural design, Environmental design, Mechanical & Electrical engineering); in this class, comprehending integrally Architecture, Urban, and Environment in both aspects of design and engineering, using various methodologies of ideation, systems approach, modeling, fieldwork, and collaborative design.
　　Students should recognize this course as a summarization of skills: survey, analysis, planning, and design, that you had acquired in the lecture and exercise courses had taken by the first semester in the 3rd year; besides, you will find it as an opportunity to practice “Undergraduate Thesis Research 1 and 2” in the 4th year.
　　It corresponds to the subject of the examination for architects; First “Architectural Design Drawings”; consequently, all learners ought to submit the required architectural drawings.

Purpose of class

　　The aim of this course is to acquire the three basic design skills to practice a sustainable community planning; then, you will understand Architecture, Urban, and Environment as System of Systems comprehending them, not only from hardware aspect but also from software aspect such as human and doing. (System Thinking)
　　First, to make own opinions and actively communicate in the collaborative activities with various persons who have different values, knowledge, and skills, with the awareness of contributing to solve the specific problems of the community. (Service Learning)
　　Second, to find out the appropriate solutions to solve interactive problems that various events correlate; by using several methodologies of ideation, systems approach, modeling, and fieldwork and by iterating the PDCA. (Design Thinking)
　　Third, to understand the basic technologies of green infrastructure and engineering that enable a sustainable town, and make it reflect on your design.

Goals and objectives

Find out the comprehensive solution (survey, planning, architectural design proposal), by an analysis of survey, finding of problems and challenges, goal-setting, alternative design, verification and validation, and decision-making in the specific urban (area) problems.
Understand and utilize the method of Systems engineering and modeling in relation to interdisciplinary fields each other.
Communicate with various persons who have different values, knowledge, and skills.
Collaborate to achieve common goals by the team.
Report and make a presentation adequately with the project proposal or orally.
