Course description and aims
The goal of this course is for students to learn that the act of designing is the creative job of seeking structures that are in harmony with the surrounding environment through the first part of the course on waterfront landscapes and the second part on bridge design.
Students in this course will gain an understanding of the diverse roles of structures in creating towns and cities, as well as gain an understanding of how these are achieved through various examples from Japan and abroad.
In the second half of the course on bridge design, each student will create a bridge proposal and model, give a presentation, and conduct a Q&A.
These are basic topics of structure and space design, as well as necessary from a practical perspective, so each student is expected to participate in this course with a strong sense of purpose.
Student learning outcomes
By taking this course, students will be able to:
(1) learn about the fundamental concepts of the structure and space design.
(2) understand various functions of the structure and space design.
(3) understand a concrete method for developing ideas through practical exercises.
(4) cultivate communication skills and creativity by making proposals, models, and presentations.

Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | ✔ Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Both in the first and second parts, the instructor will provide guidance in the beginning. Then, in the first part related to waterfront landscape, students will complete a practical exercise in a park within the Tokyo metropolitan area. In the second part related to bridge design, after several lectures by the instructors, each student is required to design a footbridge. The proposal and the model for the footbridge design are requirements. Finally, each student needs to make a presentation of their own design.
