Machine-translated · View original
A lab that approaches living spaces from the standpoint of the humanities, centered on environment, culture, and history.
AboutAbout the lab
Thinking about landscape and environment through the workings of the human mind.
The Environmental Cultural History Lab approaches living spaces from the standpoint of the humanities, built around the three keywords of environment, culture, and history.
A distinctive feature of the lab is that it examines various problems of landscape and cities through philosophy, art, cultural anthropology, and related fields.
The lab does not treat landscape or environment as something to be handled physically, nor does it quantify and generalize them; instead, it takes the human spirit and the workings of the mind as its clues.
In light of individual problems, the lab considers the process by which people have cultivated the world around them to make it livable and have passed down accounts of their lives.
The content introduced here is based on the lab's 1996 description published on its website.
Key terms

ResearchResearch themes
Centered on environment, culture, and history, this lab studies how people have cultivated the world around them and how they have passed down accounts of their lives. The lab holds that this begins with valuing the obvious fact that people's encounters with landscape are enormously varied, and that each one of them has value.
