AboutAbout the lab
Examining places and spaces people use through a design lens
The Design Process Lab (Haruka Sogabe) specializes in the design of places and spaces used by a broad, unspecified public (public design).
Besides designing signage and street furniture, the lab works on creating design guidelines for local public relations materials and signage.
Amid multiple social issues and technological developments, the lab also works on identifying points of focus and shaping them into forms that many people can understand.
The lab focuses on the "gap" (zure) that arises in how the same object or space is perceived depending on one's position, and pursues research using it as a keyword for objectively grasping, analyzing, and examining situations.
