Associate Professor of Architectural and Urban History
Noriko Matsuda, Associate Professor of Architectural and Urban History at the Kyoto Prefectural University, directs the Life-Spatial Culture Lab.
The main object of the lab is the interrelationships of things that form architecture, buildings, cities, villages, or vernacular housings standing and changing in a long period of time.
Our goal is to clarify the complicated connections and associations between form and logic of forming things using visual expressions and texts while proposing a critical methodology.
The research pays attention to various disciplines such as architectural design, landscape design, city planning, contemporary art, aesthetics, history of technology, history, sociology, anthropology, geology, and earth sciences.
Outcomes of the research can be feedbacked to architectural design, landscape design, city planning, communication design, contemporary art, and history.
