Outline and Purpose of the Course We will discuss the principles of composition and reorganization of living spaces based on a multifaceted study of human settlements. Specifically, we look at research based on descriptive analysis of personal residential experiences in detail, which appear to significantly influence the composition of residential spaces. In addition, we will conduct exercises using the "residential experience interview" method and discuss the impact of residential experience on the formation of living environment and residential life.
Course Goals ・Students will learn the basic method of "residential experience interview" to understand the various forms of residence corresponding to differences in society and lifestyles.
・They will be able to examine, through concrete cases, how the formation of living spaces is regulated by residential views based on personal and social residential experiences.
・They will develop diverse perspectives and proposals on living spaces that will contribute to the diversification and improvement of housing quality in the real world.
