School of Sustainable Design conducts international level research and education concerning 1) prediction and risk management of natural disaster, 2) civil and traffic planning/design, 3) infrastructural materials development. We provide students with academic opportunities which enable them to have creativity through “Design Thinking” and senses to find and resolve issues. We will encourage them to contribute to human society in harmony with natural environment.
Our civic design must be based on local nature, history, culture and industry, together with basic infrastructure. Cities must be safe, secure and comfortable both in hard and soft aspects. Moreover, civic design must boost local power. School of Sustainable Design merges three disciplines; 1) Earth Science, 2) Civil and Traffic Planning/Design and 3) Materials Science and Engineering. We provide students with academic opportunities which enable them to contribute to the development of safe and secure cities and to enhance local vitality. Toyama has spectacular landscape ranging from 3,000 m high mountains to 1,000 m deep sea. Toyama plays leading roles in advanced civic design, which are top level in Japan and known internationally. Having Toyama as an ideal field for practice, students can acquire knowledge and skill essential for civic design.
Students can study 1) Earth Science, 2) Civil and Traffic Planning/Design and Architecture, and 3) Materials Engineering to acquire comprehensive knowledge and experiences required for sustainable design.
