Machine-translated · View original
A lab that travels to study mutual-aid housing around the world and considers the future of collective living.
AboutAbout the lab
Homes built through mutual aid.
The Jung Lab investigates mutual-aid housing and collective housing systems around the world and proposes future ways of living.
To address challenges in the housing environments of modern cities, the lab analyzes urban structures and systems in Japan and abroad and conducts repeated fieldwork on new forms of housing.
Working with residents, private companies, and public institutions, the lab covers new collective housing and community development, as well as management, operation, and real estate–related systems.
Going out to the sites of daily life to observe and experience problems firsthand is the lab's basic research stance.
