AboutAbout the lab
Building concepts and methods from design practice
Prof. Ogata's lab practices industrial design and product design for items such as communication devices, home appliances, furniture, measuring instruments, and medical equipment.
Based on that practice, the lab aims to build concepts and methods for design practice.
The lab views the processes and techniques of design as "Ka, Kata, Katachi, Kachi," and continues to design "things" for people.
It has also recently begun working on future-oriented design, speculative design, resilience design, and the history of design methods.
Key terms
- Industrial Design

- Resilience Design
- The practice of applying design and its theory to solve social problems
- Technology-Led
- An approach to design that leads technology and markets rather than relying on marketing
ResearchResearch themes
This lab aims to build concepts and methods for design practice out of the practice of industrial design and product design. Its stated research themes include resilience design, practical product design, technology-led design development, and research on design concepts and methodologies.
Resilience Design
The lab practices ways of applying design and design theory to solve social problems. Aiming to build a new field of design studies, it is also working together with ergonomics and physiological anthropology.
*Illustrative imagePractical Product Design
The lab works on concrete design practice for products that are actually released and used, such as mobility products, home appliances, measuring instruments, and medical equipment.
*Illustrative imageTechnology-Led Design Development
As advance design, the lab carries out design that leads technology and markets rather than relying on marketing.
*Illustrative imageDesign Concepts and Methodologies
The lab studies the concepts and methodologies of design. It is developing action engineering (kōi kōgaku) and methods for drawing out requirements, such as qualitative therblig analysis.
