AboutAbout the lab
Exploring, visualizing, and designing the dynamics of relationships
The lab of Professor Akane Matsumae views society as an interweaving of relationships and studies their dynamic mechanisms.
Focusing on people and design processes, the lab investigates how relationships change and move.
It also takes on the challenge of visualizing these mechanisms and evaluating them quantitatively using engineering methods.
Through education, joint research, and commissioned research, the lab runs a wide range of practical projects aimed at a society of well-being.
