Department of Architecture and Interior
Students enter their chosen program from the second year.
Many Careers Are Open to Our Graduates because Our Program Readies Them for License Exams.
In the Department of Architecture and Interior, students learn the basics in the first year and then enter their selected program-architectural design, housing design, interior design, or interior fabrics-starting from the second year. Near the campus which is located in the center of Tokyo, there are many corporate showrooms, shops, hotels, and event facilities so students are exposed to the latest information regarding dwelling environments. It is also an optimal context for current students to envision life after graduation as our graduates work at nearby corporations related to dwelling environments. We also offer programs to support students in gaining qualifications while still in school. Making the most of these unique features, we aim to develop specialists who contribute to society.
Program in Architectural Design
Architectural design students study a broad range of knowledge as well as planning and design techniques related to dwelling environments, including single-family houses; large-scale structures such as multiple-unit housing, office buildings, and hotels; and public buildings such as facilities for senior citizens, kindergartens, and social welfare centers; as well as environment planning, such as streetscapes and community vistas. Students complete the academic study needed to sit the First-Class Kenchikushi (Architects and Building Engineers) License Exam to work as architecture professionals in the future.
Program in Housing Design
In this program, students observe and record everyday
living spaces from the home to the surrounding community. Investigating
the historical and cultural background, they learn in depth about
the design of spaces such as homes, offices and shops from various
perspectives including human psychology and behavior. This fosters
the profound sensitivity needed to design diverse living spaces
from the perspectives of both “user” and “creator.” The program
aims to prepare students for the qualifying examinations for first-
and second-class Kenchikushi (Architects and Building Engineers),
interior planner, and commercial space designer.
Program in Interior Design
The importance of interiors is currently attracting
considerable attention as a social trend. To produce effective interiors,
acute sensitivity and specialist knowledge are essential. In this
program, students learn how to create pleasant and beautiful designs
for interior spaces such as houses, shops, and cafes. After studying
methods of coordinating furniture, lighting fixtures and textiles,
they are given ample opportunities to put these ideas into practice.
The program aims to develop the ability to plan and present proposals
for interiors that correspond to the latest lifestyles.
Program in Interior Fabrics
Students learn about fabrics used in interiors and master the techniques to coordinate them with furniture, lighting fixtures, and other interior items. They also have many opportunities to create fabrics themselves. The program aims to develop creative women who use their feminine sensibilities and their mastery of the latest information and traditional designs to plan and design interior fabrics that will create colorful, pleasant spaces.
