Chiang Mai, the ancient capital of northern Thailand, is the former royal capital of the Lanna Tai Kingdom, which has a long history, and has a unique architectural culture based on the rich ecosystem that supported the royal power. However, due to rapid tourism development and ecosystem destruction in recent years, cultural landscapes, including traditional architecture, are disappearing.
In this workshop, we will renovate old folk houses in traditional societies, based on the idea of an ecomuseum, which is attracting attention today as a way to sustain architectural and residential culture while residents live there.
The aim is to convert it into a facility that will become a cultural hub for the local community. While carrying out specific architectural design builds and landscaping, we promote the revitalization of local architecture and landscapes and contribute to the revitalization of local communities.

Let's make Japan a more environmentally friendly and vibrant city with better mobility?
In this global PBL, students from Shibaura Institute of Technology and the Vienna University of Technology will discuss the topics in urban mobility, aiming to propose a new way of moving and staying in cities from the younger generation's perspective.
The discussion will focus on topics that illustrate the differences between Japan and European countries in urban mobility. For example, "Advantages and disadvantages of public transportation without ticket gates," "Safety and other issues of electric kick scooters," "Why pedestrian space is important," and "The role and usage of urban squares." We will work on these topics that you only really notice when you go out of Japan and visit on-site, bringing back new discoveries and flexible thinking to Japan.

Harajuku Station (Shibuya Ward), the Nakagin Capsule Tower (Chuo Ward), the Tokio Marine & Nichido Building (Chiyoda Ward)... There is no end to the demolition of heritage buildings in Tokyo. There are various reasons for demolition, such as redevelopment, deterioration, and lack of funds. In this workshop, we will focus on buildings in danger of demolition in Tokyo's historic districts as case studies, and investigate them from various perspectives based on literature, historical materials, interviews (with designers, owners, operators, and users), and fieldwork (survey, photography, video recording, and 3D measurement). Through the results of the research, the value of the buildings and the reasons for their demolition will be explored in depth. At the same time, discussions will be held with students and faculty from the National University of Singapore regarding the re-design, preservation, and utilization of heritage buildings in Tokyo, with the ultimate goal of developing a design proposal.

A mixed group of Japanese and non-Japanese students will be established to try to solve social problems by integrating the approaches of systems engineering, data science and design thinking(Problem Solving by Social Systems Science). The PBL program for problem solving by social system science consists of two types: the first is a PBL in which students from Shibaura Institute of Technology go to Indonesia and try to solve problems faced by Indonesian small and medium-sized companies by using systems engineering and data science approaches. The second is a PBL program in which students from Indonesia come to Shibaura Institute of Technology and propose businesses that solve global social issues. Through both programs, students will practice solving local and global issues using systems engineering, data science and design thinking approaches.

The spread of infectious diseases that began in 2020, the so-called new coronavirus pandemic, has had a diverse and severe impact on society as a whole. Since the stage of infection was inside the space, even the physical characteristics of architecture were forced to change. Now that the infection is under control, a critical issue in architecture is whether we can create a so-called new normal.
Based on this idea, this program will investigate what kind of behavioral changes are currently occurring, particularly in mega-regions where people are densely populated. Furthermore, along with it, we plan what new space plans and designs will be realized. Based on the case study in Tokyo, we will gain knowledge that can be used to transfer to densely populated areas in various countries.

As a countermeasure to natural disasters (earthquakes, torrential rains, etc.) common to Japan and Thailand, this project aims to develop disaster prevention and mitigation technologies that protect the global environment. The project will also explore how social infrastructure technologies can be developed in line with Goal 11 of the SDGs, "Sustainable Cities and Communities," which aims for sustainable urban development. Under this goal, TUAT and Kasetsart University (KU), Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Suranaree University of Technology (SUT), King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), Hanoi University of Civil Engineering (HUCE), and civil engineering students from Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) will collaborate. Civil engineering students from KMUTT, Hanoi University of Civil Engineering (HUCE), and Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) will work together to solve these problems and propose concepts through project-based learning (PBL).

We will consider content aimed at solving Malaysia's environmental issues. This program not only takes place on campus, but also engages in activities that can only be done locally, such as visiting markets and rivers for sampling. In the future, we plan to collaborate with UNIMAS faculty to flesh out the theme and implement problem-solving training. In addition to the experiment, the Japanese students also felt that their fear of English and foreign countries was reduced through interaction with the Malaysian students. A total of 32 students are expected to participate: 16 Na students from our university and the same number from UNIMAS.

The mixed team of multinational, and interdisciplinary field performs synthetic problem solving based on Systems Thinking and methods. The overall goal of the Cross-cultural Engineering Project (CEP)@SIT is synthetic problem solving to industrial and community problems. Additionally, Oh My God (OMG) experience as
improvisation education is performed for getting the creatively adaptation skill to unexpected changes in a project. Successful students in the program will acquire integrated capacity of problem-solving, which is required when they work as a member of an international and/or interdisciplinary team, through synthetic problem solving experience in CEP@SIT program, whereby students would be triggered by setting their own theme selected from suggested keywords by the lecturers, then exposed 
hands-on experience on “Systems thinking”, “Systems Method”, and “Systems Management”.
