Advanced Japan Design Workshop
The workshop frames the investigation for sustainable housing and
commuinity design in Japan. Distilling from this broad topic a more
targeted set of questions and developing parameters for sustainable
development is the intent of this 5 month inquiry.
The inquiry is designed in a series of investigations. First is a short
charette project completed while in Japan after visiting Sekisui
facilities and a number of sites and housing developments.
Second is a series of expert lectures on sustainable issues. Third are
individual research investigations. Fourth and finishing this inquiry
are final group presentations of sustainable proposals for Tama New
Town.
This
course was taught by Dean Adele Santos, Professor Eran Ben Joseph,
Professor Shun Kanda, and Professor Andrew Scott. The participating
students are graduate students from the Department of Architecture and
the Department of Urban Studies and Planning.
