Message

Invitation to
Kyoto
Design Lab.
Kyoto Institute of Technology opened the Kyoto Design
Lab. (D-lab.) in April 2014. The purpose of D-lab. is to use theideas, technologies, and methods of design to solve the many
problems facing the world.
D-lab. receives financial support from the Japanese
government’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Scienceand Technology and operates as an organization under the
responsibility of the Kyoto Institute of Technology. In response
to problems brought to the lab from every corner of the world,D-lab. develops practical products, systems, services andenvironments in cooperation with industry, overseas researchers,
professional designers and architects, Kyoto Institute ofTechnology faculty members, and students who hold the futurein their hands.
At D-lab., we strive for the dynamic interaction of traditional
Kyoto culture and Western contemporary civilization, thefusion of science and the arts, and the creation of the new.
It is a center for people grappling with problems of greatinterest; those who wish to experiment with newly developed
technologies; corporations with a passion for innovation; venture
capitalists highly motivated to invest and representatives frompreeminent global universities and research institutes.
D-lab. invites such people from around the world to the Kyoto
Institute of Technology to create the scholarship, technologies,
and systems for design, architecture, and cities that willlead the 21st century and be put to use in real society andcommunities. We invite you to Kyoto to join us at our D-lab.
We eagerly await your inquiries and participation.

Research Interests
Following seven years of working in contemporary architecturaldesign after graduating college, I studied overseas in the 1980’s
and was involved in the restoration of a historical site under
Professor Raymond Lemaire of Catholic University of Louvain,
ICOMOS honorary chairman and at the time active right at
the heart of UNESCO. After returning to Japan I have been
involved with the preservation and utilization of historical
heritage sites both domestically and overseas. From 2003 I was
put in charge of the project to preserve and restore the Tokyo
Station Marunouchi Building, an Important Cultural Property.

My vision for D-lab.
My experience at Leuven brought it home to me how educationin this field is very behind in Japan and no environment exists
in which practicing architects can engage fully with historical
heritage sites. I am convinced that the creation of the KYOTO
Design Lab. will be a major part of changing the situation in
Japan. I hope to build up an environment inside Japan that canengage with preservation and utilization in architecture in an
integrated way, while also interacting with overseas specialists.
I want to set ambitious goals worthy of the world-classhistorical city of Kyoto and aspire to create an organization thatis truly global.

Architectural design calls forsuggestions of concrete ways to improve
spaces or environments in regard to thevarious challenges facing contemporarysociety, such as the environment,
resources, and aging populations anddiminishing birthrates. It not only
utilizes the latest technologies but also
uncovers new possibilities for design byintegrating traditional knowledge.

All over Japan there are many
traditional architectural structures
such as shrines and temples, as well as
townscapes with historical and culturalvalue. These form the foundation of thelifestyles of the people living in local
communities and are also importantresources for tourism. However, Japanis a nation with frequent earthquakes,
necessitating the protection of thisIn Kyoto, besides the historicalarchitectural heritage, traditional craft
techniques remain alive and integrated
into the life of the city. This includes
even those areas where such traditions
contradict rational modern planning.

SECTION_2: Architecture

In recent years, the maintenance andpreservation of old architecture has
become socially very significant. Thisis the case for Japan’s ancient capitalof Kyoto. We interpret the subjects ofpreservation and maintenance as social
and academic resources and define themas “Archi-Resources.”31

Research Interests
My main activity centres on the development of creative
partnerships between designers, older people, those withdisabilities and other groups, that are often excluded
from the design process. The aim is to design innovative,
mainstream products, services, communications andenvironments that work better for all.
In the social design context, my interest lies in the strategic useof design thinking and a co-design, co-production process toeconomically transform sheltered workshops employing sociallymarginalised groups.
In museum studies, my aim is to make exhibitions morecognitively and physically accessible to a diverse public andto create services that transform museums into welcoming
community hubs.

influenced the design world.

The past two decades have seen radical changes to the designindustry and the range and nature of the skills, which
designers everywhere must develop if they are to practice theirprofession effectively. The digital age has resulted in complex
products whose design has required a more collaborative, interdisciplinary approach than was previously the case. In a world of
shrinking resources and ageing populations, issues of inclusivity
and sustainability must also be considered. With globalisationand the shift of manufacturing abroad even in countries like
Japan with a strong manufacturing base, designers have had tobe more sensitive and flexible in communicating with culturesother than their own.
Alongside these challenges however, has come a greater
recognition of the key skills that designers bring to the table
and the transformative role that design and design thinking canplay at every level, irrespective of the context.
My ambition for the D-lab. at Kyoto Institute of Technology isfor it to become an incubator of new design talent and a creative
testbed for design approaches that provide inspiring andinnovative answers to the challenges of this rapidly evolving
design landscape.

Kyoto is home to a wide range of
traditional crafts that have beenpracticed since ancient times. Making
the most of these fields that are uniqueto Kyoto, our collaborative projects
leverage the networks of traditional craft
workshops, cutting-edge companies,
and other universities.

Kentaro Yamamoto
Laboratory Work,iF PRODUCT DESIGNAWARD, 2013

New knowledge is produced on a daily
basis in a variety of specialist fields suchas engineering, medicine and the biosciences.

The results of these projects arepresented domestically and abroad. The
feedback they receive is then passed on
to those places where traditional crafts
are practiced.

Our Kyoto-based design research willlead the way to innovative solutions that
integrate this diverse knowledge andsimultaneously address social issues.
In our projects, using user-driven insightand practical design methodologies
to shed light on the overlooked
needs of society, we collaborate withspecialists from different corporations,organizations, and research institutes.

Making and Materials— Old Wisdom, Future Scenarios

The purpose of collaboration in theseprojects is not to preserve traditional
crafts precisely as they are, but toevolve them and continuously innovate
through the introduction of new
knowledge to keep them alive as thingsof value within society.

From the perspective of design, we

Harnessing modes of thought andtechniques that have been with

The academic field of value creation
we are advancing is a completely new
discipline. It draws on previous modelsof research that analyze works of art,
craft, design, and architecture from
historical and theoretical perspectives,and also assigns value to these works bydisplaying them and connecting themwith other works.

Display Practice for
Exhibition, 2013

One of the social roles of value creation
studies is training top-notch curators.
Within Japan and across the globe,
museums are vital in the fields ofdesign and architecture as well as art
and crafts. Museums are places that
demonstrate the value of works by not
only preserving and managing them,
but also displaying and unveiling them.
Museums of the future will be called
upon to present research results throughexhibitions. Curators capable of more
specialized exhibitions will be crucial tothis task, which is where value creation
studies places its focus.
