Landscape Design Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A landscape design lab that designs environments by connecting stormwater management and greenery.
AboutAbout the lab
Designing by connecting greenery and stormwater.
Associate Professor Kenjiro Kito, in the field of landscape design, studies environmental design using stormwater management and green connectivity as clues.
The lab examines how district-scale efforts to combine greenery and stormwater in Norway relate to legal reform, and also tries to apply the findings in Japan.
In the lab seminar, topics include flood control, groundwater conservation, and land management of farmland and woodland.
In design studio courses for undergraduate and graduate students, the lab targets redevelopment districts in Arita Town and Tenjin, and interviews local government officials and community development groups.
