Purpose of class

The course aims to provide comprehensive, practice-based learning of fundamental statistical knowledge in the fields of urban studies, environment, and architecture, as well as certification schemes related to the assessment of societal sustainability, which are essential for considering practical measures toward the realization of a sustainable society.

Course description

In this course, students comprehensively learn, through practice-based exercises, fundamental statistical knowledge in the fields of urban studies, environment, and architecture, as well as certification schemes related to the assessment of societal sustainability. These competencies are essential for considering concrete measures toward the realization of a sustainable society based on the concept of the SDGs.

The course is conducted in an exercise-oriented format. Practitioners with professional experience in each field participate as guest instructors, and students engage in discussions on social needs, current challenges, and possible measures, based on explanations of fundamental statistical analysis common to the urban, environmental, and architectural fields, as well as sustainability assessment methodologies and certification systems.

This course is designated as Subject (10) for the qualification requirements for registered architects.
