Based on diverse values
Learn about manufacturing and urban development
Nowadays, the way urban development works is changing dramatically, with public and private sectors working together on urban development and community development centered on residents. We foster the ability to fuse all kinds of values and create "environments, spaces, and things that make everyone happy" while resonating with people's hearts.
01
For diverse design needs
5 courses to meet your needs
Design covering a wide range of cities and regions, architectural design, interior design, craft design, and product design. You can choose your field of specialization according to your goal.
02
in collaboration with local communities
"Field practice"
What kind of design functions in people's lives and in society? What do you like and what are your problems? We place emphasis on problem-finding learning that involves going out into the field to understand problems.
03
Obtaining qualifications and developing social participation skills
Full of support courses
We have created a curriculum that supports the acquisition of 1st and 2nd grade architect qualifications, higher education teaching license 1st class (industry, crafts, art), and junior high school teaching license 1st class (art). We also offer a wide range of courses such as internships and vocational guidance courses.
Urban environmental design course
Aiming to build an environment that can be connected to the ever-changing modern society, students will learn specialized knowledge in urban design, town planning, civic design, and information design.
architectural design course
We design relationships between people and space that are appropriate for modern times. Learn how to create a rich space by aligning functionality, region, structure, environment, SDGs, and comfort.
Interior design course
You will learn the knowledge and specific methods necessary for architecture and interior design, from the basics of planning to spatial composition and presentation to give shape to your image.
craft design course
Experience craftwork such as pottery and woodwork used in craft designs. Learn about the characteristics of materials and gain experience in specific modeling processes.
Product design course
We focus on the design of things that can be mass-produced, from household goods to vehicles. We aim to become product designers who explore the possibilities of design and are well versed in product development.

Learn architecture from multiple angles
My interests have expanded
In this department, we consider how people living in cities can live comfortably and study architecture from multiple perspectives. As I deepened my studies in architecture, my interest expanded to include interior design, lighting, and artwork, and I developed the habit of designing spaces on a daily basis. After joining the laboratory, I began to actively interact with architecture students from other schools, and as a result, I was able to objectively understand my current situation.

In collaboration with olive farmers
Build a local specialty store.
I transferred to this department from an architectural school, and as I deepened my studies of urban environments and architectural theory, I was able to think about building design from a more complex perspective. Particularly impressive was the industry-academia collaboration exercise with Narawaen that worked on regional revitalization. I conducted a site survey in an olive grove, and based on the opinions of farmers and government officials, I designed the antenna shop that I had proposed. I feel that the practical learning that is rooted in the local community was of great use in my graduation research, which focused on the redevelopment of station squares.

Etsuko Funahiko Laboratory
We focus on human behavior in public spaces. Whether it's a city or a building, it is designed with the users in mind while satisfying various conditions. However, users do not always behave in the way that owners and designers expect. Really...? Based on field surveys, we explore design methods and design conditions that aim to create spaces that are more frequently used.
Mihiko Yoshihara Laboratory
We are researching the ideal form of space suitable for the coming era. We survey buildings, animals, plants, food, etc. from a spatial perspective. We put theories and methods together by combining IT tools such as planning and environmental simulation, and put them into practice in society by designing and completing stores through industry-academia collaboration.

Educational and research objectives
In today's society, where scientific and technological innovations are rapidly developing and the social environment is changing, it is important to have the ability to identify design problems that are widely applicable to society and to make proposals for solving problems from a cross-sectional perspective. ing. Therefore, we design sustainable environments, spaces, and objects with beauty, amenities, and functions that are compatible with this society based on a wide perspective, rich sensibilities, solid technical ability, and imagination, and create a better living environment. We will carry out comprehensive educational research to acquire the ability to create new ideas.
