October 7th: The 10th Study of Design Fundamentals Seminar “Design of Perspective - Do you see the world as it really is?”

The Kyushu University Faculty of Design is working on the fundamentals of design studies to systematize design. This time we invited Associate Professor Chikahiro Hanamura of the Graduate School of Economics, Osaka Prefecture University to join us in the 10th Study of Design Fundamentals Seminar “Design of Perspective: Do you see the world as it really is?”. It is a joint seminar with Kyushu University Graduate School of Human-Environment Studies multi-disciplinary program “Play and Refinement”.

[Topic]
In our daily lives, we are immediately trapped by specific ways of looking at things. If the way we look at things becomes fixed, we might not be able to see these things correctly. The more difficult the situation is, the more necessary it is to change our perspective from time to time and see the world in different ways. “Design of Perspective” changes the way we look at things. By looking at the world more freely and more creatively, you may see landscapes that you have not yet seen or essential things that you have forgotten.
