Outline and Purpose of the Course	Design is being reexamined as we enter the 21st century. The days of simply making artifacts are over; design today has expanded to include the process and act of creating rich experiences and connections. This lecture will provide an overview of design methods, then explain design methodologies from the perspective of disaster prevention design, conception design, architectural and urban design, and regional design. Disaster prevention design considers various designs for the safety of society, such as hazard maps showing inundation areas for tsunamis and river floods, pictograms for evacuation, color levels for warning, and urban designs that are resistant to disasters. This course will lead to an understanding of the ideal disaster prevention design based on affordance and risk communication. Under conception design, students will learn practical methods of creative conception and brush-up by teams. Under architectural and urban design, we will take up examples of designs that have been created with unique advanced approaches of exemplary architecture and cities. Guest lecturers knowledgeable about the contents will be invited. If possible, field investigation will be undertaken to learn about past and current theories and practices to understand the relationship, sustainability, and truth of various phenomena related to design practice. Under regional and residential design, we discuss the support design for areas challenging to sustain dwellings. Settlements is an extremely comprehensive and universal subject and most deeply related to the dignity of each individual. We will consider ideal designs beyond partial solutions for people living with pride, local communities, and local environments. Throughout the lectures, students will acquire a basic understanding of various design methodologies related to architecture, community, and urban environments, as well as the basic skills to put them into practice.
Course Goals	To acquire a basic background in understanding and practicing human, architectural, regional, and urban design methods.
Schedule and Contents	① Proceeding with design methodology (1 Class) Scheduling of lectures, overview, and introduction of basic theories related to design methodology ② Disaster prevention design (3 Classes) How to design to protect lives ? Methods and limitations of risks assessment ? Risk communication ? Hazard maps, color codes for warning signals ③ Conception Design (3 Classes) After prior study on conception of ideas, students will learn how to practically fine-tune ideas by teaming up with people from different fields. They will work on specific stationery or product competitions. ④ Architectural and Urban Design (3 Classes) We will take up actual design examples with an excellent, cutting-edge approach to architecture and urbanism. Guest lecturers appropriate to the content will be invited, and if possible, a field trip will be conducted. ⑤ Regional and Residential Design (3 Classes) Dialogue-Based Approach to local society, Participation, Individual and children's participation (R. Hart), Dynamic Authenticity, which deals with the value inherent in a region by identifying unclear point structures. ⑥ Discussion (2 Classes) We will discuss the integration of each design discipline and consider the construction of new arguments for design methodologies. All teachers will take charge. Reports and feedback on each discussion will be included.
Evaluation Methods and Policy	As a Report Assignment, discuss "Design Methodology" ② through ⑤ and ⑥ under the guidance of four instructors. As a general rule, the Report Assignment will be administered four times.
Course Requirements	Not specified. In principle, lectures ① and ⑥ will be conducted at the Katsura Campus, while ② through ⑤ may be conducted on-site in the field. The specific schedule will be announced separately.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review)	Instructions will be provided during lectures as required.
Textbooks	Textbooks/References	In addition, the course will be conducted using handouts and projector slides. (Shared on PandA)
References, etc.	In addition, reference books will be introduced during each lesson, and a list of references will be distributed later.
