Research
  Last Update: 2017.10.23



◆Research Concepts

1. My research field is the CITY.
The city is the best material for me to consider this and that on artifacts, humans, feelings, design, history, society, philosophy and so on. The city is very complicated, but I enjoy exploring for how to depict such complexity. I want to love the city as it is rather than care about urban problems like security, townscape and so on.

2. I want to do INTERESTING research.
I hope my research is interesting enough to fascinate people in various disciplines. From my viewpoint, interesting researches have sharp ideas, depth of exploration and scope on entity of complex phenomena. Good examples for me are "Image of the City" by Kevin Lynch and "The Structural Study of Myth" by Claude Le'vi-Strauss etc.



◆Research Topics

My current present research topics are as below:

 + Urban Modality
   - Study based on Walkthrough Experiment
   - 100ninmap project
   - Walk & Write Method

   - Depicting Urban Provenance
   - Depicting Workshop Process

I propose an exhibition series to display research outcomes like artworks. The first exhibition was held in 2012.
