| Fundamental Design Studio |
|
| Wide-ranging subjects from “Woodwork” and “Pottery” to “Ikebana”.
Power of “putting one’s artistic mind into forms” is cultivated here through various practices. |
|
| “Basic/Applied space representation” are the core subjects for freshmen at the architectural department. These subjects emphasize the development of student’s expression of “Beauty”, one of the three elements of the architecture “Strength”, “Utility” and “Beauty”, as it requires him (her) to face his(her) inner self. Various assignments including “Woodwork”, “Pottery”, “Ikebana”, “Mosaic”, “Fresco” and “Tempera” totals about 20, which are practiced in the annual 56 periods (twice a week, or, 28 per semester). A piece of work for an assignment is worked out in about a week, and each student exhibits his (her) piece, an embodiment of his (her) mind, to receive comment on it. Finishing a piece in a limited time after the trial-and-error process, and learning about the properties of specific materials and thus stimulating his (her) sensibility, student develops ability to solve the problems and create formative arts. At the end of a year’s study, each student has grown to be able to draw a design for a small architectural space. |
