Year 4 students from T&L-Lab participated and displayed their final design works in the Graduation Design Exhibition 2018!

Arts and craft room made by students, Designed by Masaki OKURA:

Based on the graduation research, it was found that there are various problems in the current learning environment for art in elementary schools in Fukuoka city. Therefore, the aim of this design is to respond to the identified problems of learning environment for art in elementary schools and to propose a new design for learning environment that facilitate children to engage in self-directed design activities.

Asia’s Entrance, Designed by Daiki SHIMADA:

Chuo Wharf of Hakata Port has the largest number of the passengers in Japan and huge number of tourists from Asia visit there as the entrance of Japan. However, considering Hakata Port as a whole, few people visiting Hakata Wharf, and there has a deserted atmosphere. Therefore, I think the international terminal in there is not an attractive scenery as the entrance of Japan. In addition, Fukuoka prefecture has a problem of hotel shortage. In order to solve these problems, I design the complex of international terminals, commercial facilities and hotels, with an attractive landscape as a front door.

Steven Liew, Singapore Start-up investor/advisor/entrepreneur was invited to the Faculty of Design to have a short session of 'chit-chat' with a small Geiko community on topics related to Start-Up. We will keep the conversation going!

Attended the presentation and critique session for K2 deisgn workshop. This is a continual exploration of collaborative design learning between Faculty of Design and KAIST. In this workshop, students in KU and KAIST presented their design concepts and prototypes through live video communication technology. This workshop presented possibilities in creating a multi-lingual and multi-cultural design learning experience in Geiko through the use of technology.
