Urban Environmental Design Laboratory
Generating and fostering rich urban environments
“Designing public space that generates and develops activities” ? It is important to make and sustain gratifying public spaces in order for us to have a fulfilling urban life. How can we realize this? We are learning methods to discover, evaluate and share the “sense of place” and pursuing the ideal way to realize it.
