The goal of the Lifestyle academic discipline is to produce graduates who are capable of producing creative and experimental designs stemming from values and initiatives within the living environment.
Students gain experience and expertise through a well-balanced fusion of theory and practice. Areas of focus include: observing users’ environments, understanding behavioral changes in people within a social and cultural context, conceptualization, and problem-solving. The discipline consists of the Living Design, Industrial Design, and Floral Design Departments.
Living Design
The Living Design Department trains cultural industry leaders who create designs with stories and emotional values. The focus is on individual philosophies and perspectives, creating designs for living goods, home & fashion goods, living furniture, and cultural goods, and offering new lifestyle values and services. Students cultivate the ability to understand technologies and materials related to lifestyle trends, for the self-production and self-promotion of goods in a flexible manufacturing system, based on studio-centered and authorial designs.
