This course presents a creative investigation of the design of spaces, furniture, and other items that reflect the mood of the times. In this way it connects with and develops approaches to architecture, urban spaces, and other major spaces formed in previous eras. During classes, design methods take shape through sketches and rough models as well as in presentations utilizing scale models and CAD.
Changes in the nature of society, including increasing use of advanced information technology, environmental preservation, and graying of the population have made the designer’s roles and responsibilities in society extremely important. With design having such a deeply significant impact on solving society’s problems, for example with the cooperative research conducted between design and industry, people need educational and research institutions to exert even greater independence and originality. NUA’s Design department develops designers and planners capable of being active in a wide range of fields, including industrial, commercial, and environmental design,We help students refine their creative sensibilities while preparing them with a wealth of specialized knowledge, planning abilities, and judgement Hence,with the aim of cultivating the “power to perceive form,” we invite students to participate in creating the concepts defining what design should be in the 21st century.

The post-graduate design program consists of five specialized areas of design. All specializations incorporate “ecological design” as a common theme, sharing the network that links each discipline with other areas of study. At the same time we have created a learning environment that enables students to gain expertise in their particular subjects while bringing a highly-civilized perspective to the issues arising in their respective fields. Meanwhile, the program offers a place to acquire the knowledge and skills that can lift students to the higher reaches of their professions, with the objective of fostering the talent capable of leading the way in the design industry’s next generation throughout the world.
