Musashino Art University (MAU) Architecture Portfolio (2)๐จ
Interdisciplinary Practice ๐๐ธ The department emphasizes cross-disciplinary collaboration with majors such as sculpture, visual communication, and stage design, encouraging students to break through the traditional boundaries of architecture and explore diverse possibilities like installation art, temporary architecture, and community building. ๐For instance, through the "Spatial Design Exercise" course, students are required to complete a full creative process from concept to physical model. ๐ Society-Oriented Curriculum ๐๐ธ The curriculum is closely aligned with contemporary societal needs, covering topics such as sustainable design, disaster reconstruction, and spatial adaptation for an aging society. ๐Students often participate in local community projects, using design to address real-world issues and fostering a sense of social responsibility. ๐ฑ International Perspective and Resources ๐๐ธ MAU has exchange programs with many European and American art schools (such as the UK's AA School of Architecture and Germany's Bauhaus University) and regularly invites renowned international architects to conduct workshops. ๐The campus is equipped with professional woodworking shops, metal workshops, and 3D printing labs, supporting the entire process from traditional craftsmanship to digital fabrication. ๐ #Tokyo ๐๐
