The Engineering design is defined as “a design is to devise a good constitution for a target,” in the department of civil engineering and urban design. It is essential to have the planning ability for students working in the field of civil engineering after graduation. In addition, there is a need for educating engineer as design education in creative imagination.
“Urban Information and Design” in 2011 was carried out to educate students on the information obtained from the urban space itself as well as regional data and maps. And students are trained how to operate the space and the representation of urban space. “Designing Creative Space” was designed to educate the reading of the state of local space, analysis and utilizing its characteristics. The “Creative Space Practice” in 2012 is decided to work on regional planning as a development issue.
The three-dimensional landscape system was introduced in our department in 2011, in order to visualize contents of learning by visual and experimental study. Visual education was carried out on urban design and urban planning by 4D City Scape systems and by the projection the photo scenery 3D. As a final study by these devices in “Creative Space Practice”, the practice of regional and landscape planning in the actual area ”Miyajimaguchi” was made into this subject.
The three-dimensional landscape system makes the ability to experience a three-dimensional appearance of the city, to deeply understand the situation of urban space. We’d like to develop teaching materials and to educate by using this device.
