We approach design through field research with the keyword "how people relate to architecture". Students will conduct surveys and research for the design and planning of public facilities, which are mainly used by an unspecified number of people. Students will understand social architectural needs, and discover issues practically through diverse case studies. Students master methods for objectively evaluating spatial configurations from the perspective of user characteristics, and acquire the ability to make evidence-based proposals for better architecture.

Class schedule

Classes are basically conducted in a face-to-face seminar format. Each student is expected to conduct research independently and systematically. In each seminar, students present their ongoing research and receive advice. Students also actively exchange opinions and information with each other, and develop the habit of expressing their own opinions on issues. In addition, case study tours and special lectures on architecture are held from time to time.

Evaluation method and criteria

The overall evaluation will be made in conjunction with the student's positive attitude toward research activities, progress reports and active discussions in seminars, and the degree of achievement.
