Industrial Design (Yoshito Ogata) Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores the concepts and methods of design through hands-on product design practice.
AboutAbout the lab
Building design methods from the design of things.
The Industrial Design (Yoshito Ogata) Lab studies the concepts and methods of design based on the practice of industrial design and product design.
The lab designs communication devices, home appliances, furniture, measuring instruments, medical devices, and more in practice, and aims to build from that work the concepts and methods needed for design practice.
The lab views the process and techniques of design as "Ka, Kata, Katachi, Kachi," and considers better ways of making things by accumulating designs of "things" for people.
In addition, the lab works on future concept design, speculative design, resilience design, and the history of design methods.
Key terms
- Resilience Design
- The practice of applying design and theory to solve social problems.
- Future Concept Design
- Research that explores desirable futures and designs the mechanisms to realize them.
- Technology-Driven Design Development
- Design that leads technology and the market without relying on marketing.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to take on design subjects that are not confined to any one domain, and to build design practice and design theory that are not separated from each other. Research themes include resilience design, practical product design, technology-driven design development, and design concepts and methodology.
*Illustrative imageResilience Design
The lab practices ways of applying design and theory to solve social problems. It also aims to build a new field of design studies and to collaborate with ergonomics and physiological anthropology.
*Illustrative imagePractical Product Design
The lab practices the design of concrete products that are released and used, such as vehicles, home appliances, measuring instruments, and medical devices.
*Illustrative imageTechnology-Driven Design Development
Without relying on marketing, the lab works on developing designs that lead technology and the market.
Design Concepts and Methodology
The lab studies the concepts and methodology of design. It is developing action engineering and methods for eliciting requirements, such as qualitative therblig analysis.
