The instructor-in-charge of this laboratory specializes in the history of Great Britain’s housing and design cultures. But, our laboratory members conduct research various issues, such as those of urban cites, environment, designs, functions, identities, families, genders, life cycles, social classes, race, and ethnic groups of any nation at any period. We encourage students to pursue their original research by analyzing historical, published and visual materials and conduct on-the-spot investigations of housings and furniture.
