Following the Coronavirus pandemic, cities around the world have entered an new era in which we must fundamentally rethink methods of urban development that were once considered common sense. What kind of urban future should we envision in the VUCA (Volatile・Uncertain・Complex・Ambiguous) world?
The economy and fabric of cities transform due to various factors, as do their spatial qualities. In this course, we will explore the goals of urbanization, the conditions that shape these goals, and the factors and mechanisms of real estate development. We will investigate the cause of transformations in urban economy and space, citing specific examples of real estate and investment case studies from Japan and abroad.
In addition, we will welcome professors who teach real estate design from Harvard University and MIT in the United States to discuss the future of urban development and consider the future of Japanese cities. At the same time, we will explore the possibilities of real estate design in the post-corona era, considering local values and the rise of the sharing economy.
Multicellular organisms like us have very complex and elaborate morphologies. We can use it to do a variety of things, and interestingly, people can seriously consider the question of what they are. However, even such a complex organism is just a single sphere called an egg at the beginning of its life. The ultimate simple form automatically changes over time into the complex form described above. If you were to use clay to create an image of a "thinking person," many would first determine the proportion of clay to be allocated to the head, torso, and feet.
In fact, the design style (body plan) used by living organisms to create the body does exactly the same way. By repeating simple rules, complex things can be created. In this class, you will learn the body plan that creatures actually use.
In this course, students will study methodology for building several environmental information systems. This course focuses on a new area that combines the environmental field and the information technology field, evolving independently. By acquiring large-scale environmental data from the “real environmental space” and by measuring the cause and effect of changes in the “environmental information space” with regard to people flow data, large-scale image data, and natural environment data, students will learn a method for designing and building an environmental information system. This system will equip them with (1) the ability to respond to medium- and long-term environmental changes by detecting changes that are taking place gradually during normal times, and (2) the capability to respond quickly to changes that occur due to sudden disruptions of the environment in an emergency. In recent years, with the development of sensors and faster storage devices with larger capacities, resized environmental data are being handled much more frequently than before. As a result, large-scale data processing technology has become essential for the understanding and scientific analysis of environmental data. In this course, the student will learn the construction of an environmental measurement, analysis, and information delivery system using ICT technology. Then, having acquired the capability to analyze actual environmental data, students will develop a scientific perspective that will enable them to consider both environmental data and constructive approaches to solutions. In particular, using hardware technologies that target the monitoring and control of the real environmental space, students will learn about environmental database systems, ubiquitous environment systems, and environmental video data processing. This study will include the technology for the control of sensors in the real environment, and an ICT technique to measure the cause and effect of environmental changes that occur in the environmental information space. The students will also learn about environmental modeling based on the results obtained from the information space. They will study the solving to ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations, which are fundamental to modeling, and will perform modeling exercises.
This course is intended to convey investigative analysis methods about environmental technoscience and environmental policy. Environmental issues are vast and span the natural and social sciences fields. In this course, students gain the ability to approach interdisciplinary subjects while dealing with practical environmental issues. The key significance of this study lies not in acquiring individual techniques or methods as much as in reaching the final objective―gaining a comprehensive ability to resolve environmental problems by gaining a comprehensive understanding of an issue, knowing how to create a framework while under time and resource constraints, and understanding which issues must be dealt with first. A specialist can't tackle a complex environmental problem on his or her own. It is necessary to meet challenges through collaboration with a variety of specialists and stakeholders. This course aims to nurture environmental leaders, who must understand the core and scope of the problems and understand the output provided by specialists. They must manage their teams comprehensively to execute practical measures to resolve problems. Students understand the relevant methods in this course and develop comprehensive abilities by taking on projects as a form of practical training.
Cyber security is becoming more important as a foundation to support the information society and the IoT society in the future. In practicing cyber security, not only technical knowledge but also comprehensive efforts on various matters such as organizational management, ergonomics, law, and policy are required.
This course takes up cases such as various cyber security incidents that actually occurred, analyzes them from various aspects, what kind of advance measures were necessary, and technical measures to prevent such cases. , Discuss cyber security initiatives that will be required in the future, such as policy measures. In addition, through these analyzes, we will deepen our understanding of the knowledge, skills, and sense required of cyber security personnel.
In this course, we will take up cases that represent various aspects of cyber security, bring the results of each analysis, and discuss them. Through this process, you will deepen your understanding of realistic cyber security issues and use various knowledge about complex issues to experience the process of problem solving and decision making in a simulated manner and acquire the abilities necessary for problem solving in the real world.

We need to make a critical shift away from the industrial paradigm of Product-in Trash-out (PiTo), to a Data-in Data-out (DiDo) model through digital design and locally-based manufacturing. We embrace strategies in circular systems in economy and supply-chain, and digital innovation in 3D+ design and manufacturing. We foster collaboration between the global fab-city network and many actors, sectors and creators, in Japan and beyond.
