In this course, we share how to create pattern language, which is a method to scribe out the practical knowledge related to a certain field of knowledge. The original idea of using pattern languages to write out design knowledge was proposed by architect Christopher Alexander. The late 1970’s book he wrote with his colleagues contained 253 patterns on practical architectural design. In the context of architecture, the pattern language was developed in order to serve a lingua franca for designing buildings between architects and residents. Alexander anticipated that people could get involved in the designing process of their homes and towns. Ten years after the book was published, Alexander’s idea of pattern languages was adopted in the field of software design. Since the 1990’s, the fields in which pattern languages are applied have shown even more expansion to cover creative human actions such as education, learning, presentation, collaboration, social innovation, policy making, disaster prevention, life design and even beauty in daily life. Pattern languages are now used to connect all kinds of people with all kinds of different experiences. The patterns help bring light to the less noticeable parts of a person’s experience, so the person can reconsider the experience to talk about it and share it with others. In the classes, you will learn the concept and cases of pattern language.
In the future era, it is essential to create new structures and methods. Every single person is really required to demonstrate creativity. Then, what should we do to think creatively and to create some creative places or team? In this course, you will learn about the theory related to creativity and collaboration and also attractive cutting-edge cases, then you will try your own practice.
The main objective of this class is to enable students to develop research skills to obtain relevant materials and data effectively for their papers and theses. The students will also learn about essential skills for academic writings.

It has become evident that both private and public sectors consider “DESIGN” as the potential way to create innovative, meaningful and useful products and services. In order to achieve this end, design-led research and development hold the essential key to identify how people experience the shortcomings of existing products and services.
However, design-led research (design research) differs from “asking people what they want”. You need to dig deep into the structural and systemic problems that people feel subconsciously, and your task as a design researcher is to embody that problem collaboratively. Sometimes you need to generate a tool for people to make their problems visible by themselves, sometimes you need to make a diagram for people to visualise the complex stakeholder relationships.
This course provides students with basic knowledge and skill in design-led research activities. This course will ask students to actively engage with design research. I would recommend that those who wish to take this course have experience in developing a product or service of any kind (for private or public sector, tangible or intangible) previously.

“MUSICS (AND MUSIC RESEARCHERS) OF JAPAN”:
Japanese music, like Japanese culture, is sometimes thought to be homogeneous, but in fact there is and always has been great diversity within Japan. This course will explore this diversity in terms of both the music itself (e.g., folk, Indigenous, popular, art) and the research approaches used to study music (e.g., music cognition, ethnomusicology, evolutionary biology, music information retrieval). We will select a diverse sample of research articles submitted as part of the course selection assignment. Students will be required to read these research articles each week. Each student will choose the research article that interests them the most, form groups with others who have chosen the same article, and give a brief presentation followed by extended discussion.
Efforts to preserve the global environment are one of the greatest challenges of the present age. Thus, it is inevitable to have a considerable involvement in environmental issues, irrespective of the area of specialization. The field of environment is extremely broad. It involves a wide range of stages from the earth to life to human society. For this reason, subjects related to the environment are currently being segmented and specialized.
With this context, this course helps the students to learn specialized knowledge in the field of extremely wide sectors related to environment in order to have a solid foundation of this diverse topic. A comprehensive review of a wide range of environmental fields from a unified viewpoint of science and technology is provided. This helps in deepening knowledge while viewing the entire environmental field, even if the student advances to one specific areas for his/her research or profession. In each lesson, we will take up specific cases, that can easily be understood with view point of science and technology application in the field of envirnmental management.

Project structure in the information society is changing radically. Today, we have to start up various projects with social significance under the progressively diversifying sense of values. This class aims to master news way to create project through practice.
Firstly, we will deepen the understanding of information editing, gathering, investigation, evaluation, articulation, synthesis and expression. Then, we will understand the process of grasping total trend such as historical background and social background, vivifying awareness of the problem as the person concerned, gathering various features such as needs and new seeds of specific community, and creating new trends and practices by putting together those features. By utilizing these frameworks and developing projects, we aim to brush up practical skills
New Business Creation Workshop
Lecture about methods to create new business plan,
Stakeholder Mapping, Core Issue Mapping, Chronology, Social Resources, SWOT analysis
Creat new business plan by yourself
Presentation and Counlutation
This lecture examines risk management as a management decision-making process from the "Shougo-seisaku-gaku". Traditional risk management focused on planning and reducing vulnerabilities. However, in the era of VUCA, is it appropriate to predict, plan, and reduce vulnerabilities? This lecture is to start with this question. Therefore, I will not be lecturing on so-called "how to's" such as how to avoid risks wisely. This lecture is not based on pragmatism in the United States, so please do not misunderstand this point.
In this class, we will discuss the issue of ethics in management.
This course is designed to provide an overview of the history of architecture in Japan and abroad, with an accompanying discussion of the history of cities related to that history.
The course focuses on the historical aspects of cities and architecture around the world, and aims to follow their development and acquire the basic vocabulary and spatial language of each historical background. The same consideration will be given to the cities involved.
This class is intended for students who aim to become environmental design professionals, focusing on architectural design, urban design, and landscape design. And this class aims to help them acquire digital skills such as architectural drawing, 3D modeling, and CG perspective.
Students will learn how to create 2D drawings and 3D modeling using architectural 3D modeling software called Rhinoceros, how to create photorealistic architectural CG using the Unity game engine, and how to use Illustrator to create layouts using the grid system.
