Outline and Purpose of the Course	Students are required to set a new topic in the fields of planning, design, structure, or environment, with regard to either architectural, urban, and regional history or spaces/systems, or to structural technology, environmental factors, and their physiological/psychological effects; to develop the ability to provide solutions to the set topic; and to compile the research results in the form of Graduation Thesis or Diploma Design.
Course Goals	From a new, previously unexamined perspective, with an understanding of both global and local values, based on their personal viewpoint, students must acquire the skills to effectively and sufficiently express a verifiable method of research or design related to architectural planning, design, structure, or environment. From the learning and educational goals listed by the Department: A; Comprehension ability A1; Communication and presentation skills A2; Multi-faceted understanding of the values of architecture C; Practical ability C2; Understanding of the social role of designing or building architecture D; Innovation D2; Attaining an imaginative perspective
Schedule and Contents	For each lesson, proceed with discussions and guidance by the supervisor of your laboratory. 1st - 3rd Setting the research and design task. 4th - 6th Collecting examples of previous studies or advanced design techniques. Consideration of research method or design direction. 7th – 9th Establishment of research hypothesis, design research plan, or design process. 10th - 16th Implementation of surveys, experiments, theoretical studies, numerical analysis, or consideration of basic design. 17th - 22th Examination of the results obtained from former stage, or proceeding with design drawings and models. 23rd - 29th Writing Graduation Thesis, or proceeding with drawing and making models of Diploma Design. 30th Presentation of the Graduation Thesis or Diploma Design.

The degree of achievement will be graded according to whether or not the thesis or design work expresses a new or unique viewpoint and addresses a previously unexamined topic, whether or not it demonstrates a verifiable method, and whether or not it is expressed effectively and sufficiently.
Course Requirements	Satisfy requirements for "Graduation Thesis" enrollment depend on year of admission
Study outside of Class (preparation and review)	Engaging in advance preparation and review, with active discussions between supervisor and student outside seminar times, and opportunities for multi-faceted consideration of research and design issues.
Textbooks	Textbooks/References	Supervision by your laboratory instructor.
References, etc.	Supervision by your laboratory instructor.
