The Kyushu University, Faculty of Design, is working on the fundamental of design studies to systematize design. For the 11th Design Fundamental Seminar “Design Library Design”, we invited Ms Fumiko Ichikawa from Re:Public Inc. and Mr Takahisa Masui from Maruzen-Yushodo Co., Ltd, to share with us.
With the development of technology, not only the information environment that surrounds us has advanced, the concept of “information” itself is also expanding greatly. What should the library that supports “higher-level designers” be?
In this seminar, we looked at the trends and examples of overseas university libraries in this era where everyone can be a creator.
