Tokyo Midtown Design Hub 95th Exhibition

University Labs Exhibition 2022

BASIC INFORMATION

Design has evolved into a universal tool utilised to improve society in all aspects of our world. There are numerous educational institutes outside the framework of traditional art universities and design colleges, as each school challenges “education” through ingenious initiatives. This year’s University Labs Exhibition introduces how students, the future frontrunners in various fields, are learning design through labs’ research themes and students’ works on these challenges at seven schools across Japan engaging in design education and research. Along with these labs’ unique approaches towards design and their students’ fresh perspectives, observe how they faced and handled the last two years’ coronavirus pandemic through research themes and novel learning methods they have adopted.
