Concept Work

The conceptual planning is necessary first to start up all projects. This is the one that the basic philosophy of the project and the direction of the idea and the proposal were shown in the word. In addition, the relation between two or more words was structurally made logical according to the concept of the philosophy. The activity of all projects that continue after this will not be generated if there is no such conceptual planning.It is the most important activity for us.

Concept Charrette

Charrette's etymology is originally a wagon to collect completed works in the school of fine arts and design in France. It is used by the following scenes in the United States. The specialist named CEO, the designer, the accounting director, and the investor of the funding must be focused on everyone, examine an important problem, and make the solution then and there in the project. The concept that we make uses such a method. It is concept Charette.

Field Survey
Does what kind of resource of the earth have the possibility of forming the design contents? Searching for it is Field Survey. The resource that we say environment, information, and our is idea and image, etc.

Landscape Design
Landscape Design is one of the Place making. There are two kinds of this methods. The first is an ecological approach. It is a method of doing Design while making the best use of scenery with forces of nature. It approaches secondarily by the use of imagineering. For instance, artificial quite new scenery can be made like Disney Sea that regenerates the railway marshaling yard site to a valuable, beautiful living environment. We propose these by using the drawing sketch and the computer graphics.

Comprehensive Planning
We clarify a conceptual image of the future by the comprehensive plan intended for the city and the region. The adjustment etc. of a space structure, land use, a residence density, environmental preservation, and strategic development are reflected there.

Architecture Design
We do an architectural design as one of schematic design. It is different from the idea of the architect and the architectural education that has been done so far. We propose construction Design from the aspect of merchandising and branding.

Schematic Design
Finally, we consolidate a concept, Landscape, a comprehensive plan, and an architectural design, and express it by the Schematic design. It clearly proposes a direction advanced by the vision and the project for the future that people expect by using the drawing sketch and the computer graphics. The biggest difference with architectural Perth that Schematic designs and is past is the following respect. The Schematic design is what the concept is faithfully made visible while past architectural Perth draws faithfully on the execution blueprint side. In my laboratory, such a series of system is called imagineering. It might be only my laboratory in Japan that such a method is done by the class.

Remarks
The work taken up here used the virtual island program. This is production of the base of imagineering to learn for the university student at Nagoya City University. All the photo add illustrations are virtual spaces.
