Center for Design Fundamentals Research, Kyushu University

The Center for Design Fundamentals Research was established in April 2022.
Design Fundamentals refer to the accumulation of thoughts that establish design as a discipline through fundamental consideration of what design is, its truth, value (ethics), and aesthetics. To realize this goal, we have established four pillars of research. The first is the practice of stimulating critiques that question design from its roots, the second is the development and practice of basic and common design education, the third is the clarification of design methodology and attempts to systematize it, and the fourth is the promotion of cultural diversity in design. Research Center for Design Fundamentals aims to envision the future of design through these research projects.
