To achieve these educational goals, students will receive advanced instruction and undertake research in history, theory, and engineering in the areas concerned, with a special emphasis placed on course work leading to practical experience that extends from conceptual and methodological study. Students will work closely with faculty staff in a broad range of fields including architectural planning and design, environmental analysis and design, structural analysis technologies, architecture and city history, the history and theory of art and design, and human and social sciences. The curriculum’s close interdisciplinary relation between architecture and subject in the humanities makes this program unique in Japan.

Because this program aims to synthesize technology and art, it has two areas of focus: architecture and building engineering, and architecture and culture. Students in the program will have full access to the university’s museum and archive collection for research purposes.
