On February 18th, 2019, students from Chiba University, Zhejiang University and Yonsei University participated in the workshop, which was held in Japan.
Objectives of Design Workshop
Kashiwanoha Campus City is a future-oriented town model that will set the blueprint for solving various issues in people's daily lives. Moreover, Kashiwanoha is aiming to be a sustainable town that attaches great importance to its rich natural environment and traditional heritage while combining these elements with new lifestyles and culture, in addition to passing on these achievements to future generations of children.
Using an existing site, the workshop asks students to explore the potential of an area around Kashiwanoha campus station for greening the city. In developing the design, the broad considerations are the appreciation of the relevance of greenery in the development of Smart City of the future through benefits greenery can bring, how greenery can be made more "ecological", and how even a simple existing space through deliberate design, can potentially deliver more than conventional designs. The students will choose from one site near Kashiwanoha campus station and show the design.
