Design Research Institute

Akira UEDA

Professor / DirectorDesign is the science and practice that enriches human life. I will ‘learn’ about people’s lives and conduct surveys, research, propose ideas, and engage in practical activities to improve their lives. This is what we call ’lifestyle design based on the reconfirmation and re-recognition of local resources.’ Furthermore, as an extension of this concept, I am promoting the advancement of ‘dri activities centered around the Sumida Satellite Campus.’
