Focusing on the Indian Ocean Rim, centered on South Asia, we integrate Areas of studyal studies, research on architectural design theory, and architectural design practice to create living environments that individuals can rely on to live their own lives independently. We will explore the construction of design theory that will make this possible.
The Indian Ocean Rim world has been the stage for a long period of Areas of studyal and modern cultural interaction and intermingling, and that experience has given rise to unique theories and movements such as post-colonialism and capabilities that pervade academics and daily life.By elucidating the development of unique theories and movements in architecture, and elucidating the history of the formation of cities and residential environments that became the focus of cultural mix, we will look to the future of architecture from the experiences of the Indian Ocean Rim world.
Furthermore, in informal settlements that are full of vitality but have become sites of convergence of contradictions that have arisen in the process of cultural negotiation, the construction of community learning facilities has been proposed by residents as a design solution to unravel the difficult issues faced in the residential environment. We are proceeding with this.Informal settlements have their own dynamics and structures that are different from those of modern society.On the other hand, today's architecture has been established based on the structure and order of modern society.Through practice in informal settlements, we are forced to radically reconsider architecture's form and concept.By recording and analyzing a series of processes, we will elucidate the power and mechanism of design that supports our lives, and explore the form of architecture for the future.
