AboutAbout the lab
Protecting and making use of landscapes and greenery together with citizens.
The Landscape Planning Lab (Furuya Lab) studies how citizens can take the lead in protecting and making use of landscapes and green spaces.
With "citizens," "landscape and green space," and "culture and history" as key themes, the lab also considers the culture and history of the people who have been involved in shaping landscapes into their present form.
The lab holds many materials on parks and green spaces from the Meiji, Taisho, and early Showa periods, which can be used in research tracing the history of landscape gardening planning.
Students can choose their research topics according to their own interests and future goals. They are expected to be motivated to present at international conferences and submit papers to English-language journals.
