Designing Together Across Cultures: Learning from France and Sri Lanka, Imagining New Possibilities in Mito under “Multicultural Campus Project Toward Social Impact”
2025.10.24
School of Art and Design and the Master’s and Doctoral Programs in Design at University of Tsukuba have been conducting collaborative projects with local communities and universities around the world—creating small-scale architectural works and exhibition installations in places such as museum gardens in Grenoble (France), informal settlements in Colombo (Sri Lanka), and historic districts in Tainan (Taiwan). These activities aim to enhance the livability and cultural appeal of local areas.
This symposium will introduce the design workshops held this year in France and Sri Lanka in collaboration with Université Grenoble Alpes (France), University of Tsukuba (Japan), National Cheng Kung University (Taiwan), and University of Moratuwa (Sri Lanka). Participants will also discuss possible ideas and approaches for carrying out similar activities in Mito.
Date and Time: Tuesday, November 4, 2025, 13:30–16:30
Venue: Mito Art Tower, Conference Room
Language: Japanese (with English translation)
Everyone who is interested are welcome to join the session! Looking forward to your participation.
