The Social Co-Creation & Design Laboratory engages in research and practice on strategies for the co-creation of spatial environments, artifacts, activities, and temporal experiences that contribute to the enrichment of society, with cities and urban communities serving as primary fields of inquiry.
- Examination of the potential for regionally driven revitalization induced by visitor flows, alongside studies on endogenous development processes (local innovation)
- Investigation into the design and governance of co-creative spaces oriented toward regional revitalization
- Research on the development of participatory systems for residents through the application of Future Design methodologies
- Evaluation of comfort, convenience, and walkability in urban areas and communities, along with the exploration of strategies for utilizing local resources
In this laboratory , with the aim of development of technologies that contribute to the society of the future, we are researching the followings.
・Preparation of noble metal nanoparticles and application of them to fuel cells and antibacterial fibers
・Development of less-invasive cancer treatment using alternating magnetic field
・Development of magnetic regenerators for cyocoolers
・Nanotechniques for high-sensitivity gene, protein, and immune diagnoses and tailor-made medicine
Recently, people are recognizing the necessity of “constant city planning.” In other words, we should not start city planning only after some event has occurred, but should keep discussing city planning on the basis of how our environment should be in the future. Therefore, we study in the following viewpoints.
– City planning to gather people and activate the town
– City planning for designing urban facilities with citizens
– City planning for next generations based on discovering and researching the city situations and problems
