We, designer use drawings to describe our design. Fabricators refer to the drawing for fabricating buildings and/or furnitures. In that sense, these drawings are important in communicating with your collaborators.

General drawings, in this case typically architectural plan and section drawings describe a sectional image of your design subject. In architectural field, almost all buildings are framed by vertical column and horizontal beam and slab therefore there is no strong argument in such drawing format.

On the other hand, there are new buildings which has a complicated configuration, such as three dimentional curved surface. I believe al of you can remember the previous winning work for Main stadium for Tokyo Olympic game design by Zaha Hadid. You can imagine that ordinary architectural drawings can hardly describe such building's design essence. You are unable to measure total square meter of its exterior building.

Thus the ordinary drawing format is limited in solid geometry for describing its essence. And I believe the challenge limits designer's creativity.

This class gives you an opportunity for you to,
1. understand the mechanism and challenges existing drawing method has.
2. utilize these drawing method for three dimensional design.
3. develop the ability for three dimensional way of design thinking.
With these points, this class gives you an opportunity for you to acquire a skill to describe a unique design.

Although Aynu peoples are officially recognised as indigenous peoples of Japan, there are still few academic spaces where students can research on the Aynu language and culture. In this seminar, we learn the Aynu language, realise field visits to Hokkaido, and learn from (and engage in) the efforts to revitalise the language, and delve in to the world of Aynu culture through their oral narratives. All students participating in this research seminar will learn the language, but their personal research projects can span other topics. We welcome students interested in fieldwork-based social science and humanities, language revitalisation, and literary studies.

The course focuses on maps as a design material, expression, and forms of art.

The Student Built Campus (SBC) project began in Spring 2015 as part of Keio University’s new campus-planning project 'Mirai Sozo Juku (Institute for Designing the Future)' aiming to develop a new residential education and research environment created by the students, faculty members, administrative staff and alumni of SFC. The goal of SBC is to realize a future model of the university campus in a world where various resources, such as knowledge, technology, and people, are integrated. This new network will redefine notions of 'study' and 'education' in the 21st Century. In this semester students will make groups and study on the themes set by the graduates of SFC who are invited to work with in order to experience residential education and research for real. Students are expected to understand what are SBC and Mirai Sozo Juku pursue, and acquire idea and method of learning and managing new education and projects which can be available by residential education and research happening at the SBC.

This course will discuss the spread of Islam throughout the Eurasian continent and beyond, and its diverse society ranging from West Africa to Southeast Asia.

The aim of the course is to learn the thinking and language for the design of space and the environment surrounding us, mased on the scale of our body, through small fieldwork and hand drawing practice. You will learn the specific language and basic approach to design the space and the environment using keywords such as sit, walk, time and border.

- The class introduces Buckminster Fuller's inventions for solving global issues.
- The class deals with a subject between design and engineering
- The class introduces Fuller's thought on global issue. But mainly aims at his inventions.
- The class demonstrates the essence of the technologies by model making.

重要：2021年の授業形態はオンキャンパスとします。コロナの状況が改善されない場合は課題を変更してオンラインとします。

この授業ではデザインを観察する基本技法であるデッサン力を身につけます．さらに透視図法（遠近法）という一般的な絵の描き方を学ぶ事で，立体物の寸法やプロポーションをおおまかに測って絵に描く事ができる技法を身につけます．

近年コンピュータによるプレゼンテーションが一般化し，「完成予想図」などに用いられるコンピュータグラフィックスの新鮮味がなくなってきています。私がデザイン業務を通して実感する限り，手書きによる描写力はますます重要性を増している，と感じます．また実務において施主との打ち合わせでは手書きでアイデアを絵にして伝える事が効果的であるというのも事実です．

この授業では透視図の基本的な原理を歴史と絡めながら説明し、デッサン（透視図）が空間を観察＆表現する為の言語である事を理解してもらい，ハンドドローイングで描く透視図を修得してもらいます。

IMPORTANT:
the class will be on campus. But COVIT19 may close the campus off again this semester. In the case this class may be on-line-class using ZOOM and Slack. Besides, The last assignment of the drawing exercise is drawing SFC campus. We look for chances to make on-campus class especially in the last 2 weeks of the class.
In the case, if students outside Japan have problem to re-enter Japan, I give alternative assignment for these students.

This class gives you a series of drawing lessons for learning skills to observe and describe objects on a paper. The class focuses on perspective drawing. It is a standard method to draw three dimensional objects and space such as buildings and product designs on two dimensional plane. With it, you can trace back its sizes and proportions of what you draw by learning perspective.

Computer graphics has been popular for the last two decades. It has become difficult to attract your clients only by showing computer graphics. I have practiced my carrier in design and fine art field. And as long as I have experienced, more the computer graphics become popular, a simple pencil drawing get bigger power to attract people.

I regards freehand drawing as a design language to observe and describe what you can not describe by text. The class gives you the hand-drawing-design-language.
In the first lecture, the class gives you a short lecture on the history of the perspective as well.
