Creating sustainable cities, social environments and lifestyles
In the Human Environmental Design Course, students learn from all cultures and societies around the world about the future of the environment in which humans will live. A distinctive class is "long-term fieldwork," in which students leave the campus to visit various places in Japan and abroad to generate ideas for discovering and overcoming problems through on-the-spot dialogue. Through practical learning, students acquire a deep understanding of people and regions, design thinking that enables them to analyze situations, and knowledge and skills in architecture and urban planning. We nurture people who can propose sustainable buildings, town planning, communities, and new lifestyles for people, which will be required in the future society.
