The Human Environment Design Department’s Symposium “Science and Design 2” was held.

Topic

Symposium Theme: “The Potential of Science in Design”
Date: Friday, February 22, 2019, 13:10-17:30
Venue: Kyushu University Ohashi Campus, Design Common 2F (4-9-1 Shiobara, Minami-Ku, Fukuoka City)

In recent years, the scope of design has expanded beyond manufacturing to include services, solving social problems, and creating mechanisms. Good design needs to logically explain the reasons for its creation. One of the grounds for this is an understanding of humans and the environment as a science. In this symposium, we discussed the possibility of science in design through practical examples of education and research at design universities and faculties in Japan.
