建築空間デザインでは、身の回りの小さなものから、より大きな都市環境といったものまで、新旧の交ざり合ったすべてを研究対象とします。

京都では伝統的な工芸技術が、歴史的な建築遺産や都市生活の中に今も生き続けています。そうした伝統の中に見られる不合理性を、最新新たなデザイン手法が生み出されます。

空間や環境を向上させるうえでの現代的な問題、すなわち環境問題や資源枯渇、少子化、高齢化といった問題に光を当て、現実的な手法を探りだすのです。私たちは、現実的な試みを、実際のデザイン思考へと落とし込めるような、国際的に活躍できる人材を育成することを目標としています。

In architectural space design, we research everything from the small things around us to the wider urban environment which is a fusion of old and new. In Kyoto, traditional craft techniques remain alive and integrated into the historical architectural heritage and life of the city. This includes areas where such traditions contradict rational modern planning.

Design techniques are developed alongside new creative values that synthesize the irrationality embodied within tradition and the rationality of advanced technologies.

We find concrete ways to improve spaces or environments in light of the contemporary challenges facing society from environmental concerns, diminishing resources and birth rates to the aging population. We aim to foster people who can work internationally and transform practical training into realized design ideas.
