This course will introduce you to the design theory of the traditional Japanese garden and architecture, and will apply it to a more contemporary and universal context. Kyoto was the capital of Japan for over 1,000 years, and still is a treasure trove of traditional gardens and architecture. We will also visit local practitioners and craftsmen of both traditional and contemporary design, including some internationally known architects. At the end, we will have an intensive design studio at Kyoto University, Department of Architecture.
