Basic Studies of Planning, Architecture and Environmental Systems 1
The first semester focuses on people’s active involvement in the built environment viewed from various perspectives: urban
history, architecture, structural system engineering and environmental policy. This course is designed both for international
students and for third-year Japanese students to broaden their knowledge of environmental studies. Although the lectures are
taught in English, the first two classes give guidance on academic English skills so that students whose first language is
not English will have the opportunity to prepare for course work.
Department of Planning, Architecture and Environmental Systems, which consists of three main research areas – architecture,
urban planning and environment, aims to develop interdisciplinary and systems approaches to solving environmental and other
urban issues society faces. This series of lectures provides an introduction to a wide range of related topics.
- Students will understand a basic level of terms, methodology and sources used in different disciplines related to the department's studies.
- Students will learn interdisciplinary and systems approaches to solving environmental and other urban issues, through many cases of people’s active involvements in the built environment.
- Japanese Students will also develop abilities of reading, writing, discussion and presentations in English through assignments and class activities.
