Challenge to remote reality 1: Holding remote joint exercise with Politecnico di Milano

The Design Degree Program, which teaches design from an international perspective, promotes active international exchange. In 2020, we held a joint exercise with Politecnico di Milano, one of the world's leading universities in design education.
Due to the global coronavirus pandemic, the joint exercise was held online, but we focused on the reality that is essential for advancing design, and attempted to realize remote reality.
