Design Morphology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that examines the "objects" and "events" people create by studying how their forms come into being.
AboutAbout the lab
Reading the meaning that lies beneath things.
The Design Morphology Lab takes all kinds of "objects" and "events" that people create as its subject, and examines how they come into being and the characteristics of their components from the perspective of morphology.
To read the meaning and value hidden beneath things, the lab repeats cycles of observation and experimental making.
The lab places importance on deepening thought while engaging with real objects and events, free from fixed ideas.
Every year, to coincide with the university festival in November, the lab holds the Design Morphology Exhibition, where it shows works in progress from master's and graduation research and feeds visitors' comments back into its work.
Key terms
- Morphology
- An approach that uses the form of a thing itself as a clue to read how it came into being and what its properties are
- Design (ishō)
- The design that appears in the visible look of an object, such as its shape, pattern, and use of color
ResearchResearch themes
The lab examines the forms of the "objects" and "events" people create, tracing them back to their components. Combining a composite, logical perspective with a free sensibility unbound by established conventions, it explores the meaning of "people creating form" while engaging with real objects and events.
