Kyushu University Faculty of Design is working on the fundamentals of design science to systematize design. We are pleased to invite Dr Daijiro Mizuno, a specially-appointed professor of Kyoto Institute of Technology, KYOTO Design Lab, to share with us, “Research Through Design – Theory and Practice”.This seminar is open to anyone. We look forward to your visit.
To gain knowledge through design practice is to Research through Design (RtD). As the practical domain of design is expanding from products to services and sustainability, the knowledge that can be gained by actually moving the mind and body is becoming an issue. How has RtD been accepted in Japan, and what should it be?
