Purpose of class
Through small-group seminars, students will acquire advanced knowledge in their respective fields of expertise and develop the ability to engage in discussions on the subject matter.
Course description
In this course, students engage in high-density learning in small groups under the guidance of faculty members appropriate to their respective academic directions. Enrolled students are divided into seminars led by faculty members specializing in history, planning, urban planning, environment, structures, and production. The content and format of each seminar vary according to the policies of the respective faculty members, but the activities primarily focus on architectural surveys, practical training, experiments, and research. Additionally, as a summary, each seminar presents its activities in a final presentation session.

This course is not a pre-seminar for the graduation research in the fourth year, nor does the seminar or faculty member a student belongs to determine the laboratory to which they will be assigned for their graduation research.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students will be able to identify issues in various architectural fields and discover approaches and methods for problem-solving.
  2. Students will be able to understand the intent of the themes presented by the instructor, formulate their own implementation plans, and carry them out.
  3. Before conducting their graduation research, students will deepen their understanding of their areas of interest, acquire specialized knowledge, and develop a strong sense of career awareness.
  4. Students will be able to deliver specialized and advanced presentations and engage in discussions on the content.
