[Deadline Extended!] Seminar Syllabus: Iba Lab B (GIGA), 2017 Spring
Iba Lab B (GIGA) - Natural & Creative Living Lab
Global Collaboration to Empower People with Pattern Languages
(Tuesday 5th period, 2017 Spring semester)
Entry submission deadline: (Extended to) March 23rd
Interview Session: On-line in March
Purpose
Our society is becoming more complex and diverse day by day. Finding a way to design the future with our own hands has become a fundamental problem for us today. To be creative in such a society, we must create our own visions, and design tools and methods to make our visions a reality.
In our lab, we define a “Creative Society” as a society where people create their own goods, tools, concepts, knowledge, mechanisms, and ultimately the future with their own hands. Creation in this society is no longer limited to just companies and organizations, but is entrusted to each and every individual.
In such a creative society, pattern languages are key media for supporting creative acts. A Pattern Language is a collection of information called “patterns,” which together works in a language-like structure to scribe out the practical knowledge related to a certain field of knowledge.
The mission of our lab is to create human action pattern languages in various languages, and present / spread them all over the world, and engage in global collaboration to empower people with them. In order to achieve this, our lab conducts primarily three types of research:
1. Creating new pattern languages from scratch. - The team will go through all of the process of creating a pattern language in English. The aim will be to create a pattern language that can be shared internationally. The themes of pattern languages will be related to ways of natural and creative living or how to shift our society to be more natural and creative.
2. Translate pattern languages into other languages (publishing level). - The team will translate a pattern language (created in the Iba lab) into another language (precedents include: English, Korean, German, Malay, etc.) at a level that can be published as book and shared internationally.
3. Explore new ways of expressing patterns. - The team will propose and design a new form of expression to share pattern languages. For the past forty years, pattern languages have been shared as reading materials, most commonly as printed books and papers, and recently as cards to be used in interactive workshops. Recently, we created Pattern Objects, which are objects that express patterns to help us recall the right pattern for the right situation, and Pattern Song, where patterns are embedded in lyrics of the song.
Number of Students
