Unlike "building" as an existence and "construction" as an activity, "architecture" is an idea and a concept. If the consciousness of artificial work on the environment is the origin of architecture, it is rather natural that it is the most primitive intellectual creation act of mankind, and that it is a comprehensive and boundary existence that has corresponds with all areas. Currently, the research subjects and activity areas that architecture should deal with are dynamically expanding and merging due to various factors such as social changes, progress of computerization, and needs for coexistence with the natural environment. Today, the ability to cooperate with other fields in various aspects, from aspects such as urban development planning to devising construction technology, is necessary for a practical experience in the field of architecture, . In SFC, "architecture" is not fixed or dogmatic, but exists as a common item of creative and comprehensive intellectual activities across faculty members with various areas of interest. On top of that, in order to acquire the ability to carry out this on a realistic social system, the students will get review on their project of "architecture" that is being tackled from a different approach depending on each research theme. The purpose is to acquire the ability to expand the architectural domain and realize the fusion with new fields by exchanging it in and comprehensively verifying it from the viewpoint related to the practice of architecture.
Fumihiko Maki (1928-), recipient of numerous international awards including the Pritzker Prize, is one of the world's foremost architects, universally acclaimed for his long-standing design activities and his work. He has designed not only our campus, but also many buildings at Keio University, most notably the libraries in Fujisawa, Mita, and Hiyoshi. In Japan, he has been awarded the AIJ Prize twice, and his many works include the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, Makuhari Messe, and Yokohama City Hall, but it is his international activities and reputation that deserve special mention. He has also been recognized as a practical theorist who introduced Japanese architectural thought to the world. His ideas, which place Japanese cities and their spatiality in the context of the global trend of modernism since the Edo period, have attracted worldwide attention from the perspective of the conflict between localism and globalism in the environment. His work has been highly acclaimed and has been invited to design buildings that symbolize the region and the era around the world, including the WTC site in New York, MIT Media Lab, Bihar Museum in India, Singapore Institute of Technology, the Aga Khan Foundation London Headquarters, and Shenzhen World Culture Center.
Keio University SFC has received a donation from Mr. Fumihiko Maki of valuable materials such as sketches, drawings, models, photographs, manuscripts of his writings, publications, correspondence, etc., which he owned and kept in his possession, and has decided to collect, organize, store, and collect them for future use in research and educational activities both inside and outside Japan. We have decided to collect, organize, store, and collect these materials and to make them available to the public through exhibitions and data for future use in research and educational activities in Japan and abroad. The "Fumihiko Maki Archive Room," located on the renovated fourth floor of the Media Center, which overlooks the entire SFC space designed by Mr. Maki, will not only display and introduce to visitors from around the world the architectural works of Mr. Maki, who has embodied the educational philosophy of Keio University, but will also serve as a historical research resource for current and former students as well as for the public. The aim is to create a digital archive that can be used not only by current students but also by people from all over the world as a historical research resource. We plan to collaborate with the Keio University Art Center, Keio Museum Commons, and the Center for Integrated Research on Digital Media and Content at Keio University in order to create multifaceted and cutting-edge digital content that goes beyond the mere creation of image data.
This class is designed to help students understand the international trend of urbanism and the historical significance of design activities through the works and footsteps of Mr. Fumihiko Maki, and at the same time, to make the creation of analytical results itself a learning opportunity as a teaching material in which elements and applicable specific knowledge that those studying architectural design should master are accumulated. The course provides a practical learning process about the philosophy of Fumihiko Maki, who advocated humanism in architecture, especially for students who aim to study and research architecture and urban design, utilizing the international trend of urbanism and the position of holding valuable materials on the works and philosophy of the architect Fumihiko Maki.

Projects in the age of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) require the bird’s eye view capability and the multifaceted approach that can accept diversity high-level ability to exploit an abduction based on fundamental research with the robust aspiration and deep-rooted philosophy. We will establish an Academic Project who has accumulated expertise in science, technology, and policy through our social system concept and aims to establish shared values for society.
This academic project （AP） makes use of research methods proper to humanities in order to examine cultural issues that our societies face in the processes of globalization. Putting a focus on 1) language expression, 2) thoughts, 3) systems as research areas, we will analyze theoretically what these issues mean for a human subject and study practically how they can be resolved through the redesign of systems.
Among many challenges raised in contemporary societies, transcultural phenomenon will be an important research topic in this academic project. This phenomenon appears on an individual and a collective level, taking various forms. It can be observed in the relation between a person and his/her native language(s), or between immigrants and host societies for example. Problems raised in such a situation lead us to think seriously about how to design and construct a new relation between individuals and groups or communities.
To tackle this challenge, we specifically pay attention to research areas in which humanities approaches are appropriate, like literature as a form of language expression, or philosophy and thoughts. Methodologically, we investigate the meaning of the human experiences in contemporary societies and cultures from the standpoint, not of “explanation” (Erklären), but of “comprehension” (Verstehen).
It should be added that the social and cultural experiences mentioned above occur beyond the existing social or political frameworks because of globalization in process. This requires also rethinking of systems in order to handle the problems of language, nationality or immigration. These practical issues are also taken into account in this project.
