This course aims to develop human resources who can play an active role in society by gaining an understanding of architectural culture, acquiring perspectives, viewpoints, and perspectives that allow them to view things multifaceted and flexibly.
The lectures are unique in that the lectures are interwoven with the instructor's actual work experience in magazine editing and regional development, and the lectures are guest lecturers who are active at the forefront of fields such as fashion and architecture. This allows students to not only acquire simple knowledge and education, but also to learn more practical ways of thinking and methodologies. Students are required to take each event as their own and actively participate in class.
This course is structured based on the following ideas.
・“Architecture” is a dimension that goes beyond mere buildings.
・Architecture is not only artistic, but is also subject to various economic, political, and legal constraints, and is an important cultural component as well as a social entity.
・Therefore, "architecture" is a media that allows us to read the historical and social background and the thoughts of our predecessors. We will examine the significance of each building's existence, and from there we will envision the shape and form of future society.
From the above perspective, each lecture will be based on a theme, learning about society and culture through architecture, cultivating an awareness of issues, and cultivating a free sense and creative ability that is not bound by existing value standards.
