Study for "Groundlogy"
This special research project conceptualizes a "walking course in the Endo area, including SFC," and creates and installs wooden benches.
Walking" is an essential part of the challenge to realize a "sustainable and inclusive community. Walking is praised from environmental perspectives such as carbon neutrality, preventive medicine, and public health perspectives, as well as from the perspective of fostering community and landscape. However, the lack of rest facilities surrounding SFC makes it challenging to take a walk, and there needs to be more pedestrian interaction between SFC and the surrounding community. In this special research project, we will conduct fieldwork on campus and the surrounding area to understand the current situation. With the advice of experts, we will design benches and chairs that create opportunities for interaction based on inclusive design and build several prototypes of benches. The completed prototypes will be installed inside and outside the campus as a social experiment.
