AboutAbout the lab
The future of culture, together with the community
The Design Culture Planning Lab studies in detail the cultures unique to particular regions and ethnic groups, and conducts research on designing their future.
The lab believes that a society's richness is measured by how diversely cultures, the sum of people's ways of life, coexist.
With coexistence with region, history, and nature as its keywords, the lab examines the past and present of culture.
It works closely with local communities in Japan and abroad, rediscovers local resources, and proposes designs for building a sustainable society.
