Iba Lab B (GIGA)
Translating Pattern Languages into Various Languages
(Wednesday 2nd period, 2019 Fall semester)
Entry submission deadline: July 27
We live in a complex and changing society, and the future will be determined by and based on our current actions and experiences. Therefore, methodologies and tools regarding the creation of a future where we can live well are significant. The research conducted in Iba lab consists of creating and sharing “pattern languages” throughout the world as these sorts of methodologies and tools.
Pattern language is the method of and the tool for identifying common patterns of good practices embedded in specific domains and sharing this wisdom with others. It was originally proposed in the domain of architecture in the 1970s and has since been applied to various other domains such as software development, education and organizations.
For the past 10 years, Iba Lab has created over 60 pattern languages on diverse topics that provide tacit practical knowledge of creative human actions, comprising over 1700 patterns in total. Topics include the following: learning, collaboration, presentation, project design, open dialogue, education, reading, cooking, living well with dementia, living well with working and parenting, employment of people with disabilities, welfare innovation, management of child care, social entrepreneurs, value-creation marketing, change making, community innovation, hospitality, life transition, beauty in everyday life, natural living, disaster prevention and public policy design. These pattern languages have been practically utilized to improve practices and generate dialogues among people in various organizations and communities.

Some of these pattern languages have been translated to languages such as Traditional Chinese, Korean and German and published as books overseas. An even larger number of these pattern languages have been published in English and are being used in other countries, with one even being written about in a newspaper in the UK. Our pattern languages are known throughout the world and have gathered many fans. However, with the majority of our pattern languages only available in Japanese or English, we are not yet able to reach out to the ordinary people of many countries.
