To create better spaces
To realize the value of architecture and urban space
The Institute has been conducting research on national policies related to architecture and urban space and preparing related policies. In addition, the Institute has contributed by creating a better everyday space for the people by responding to the policy demands of the times.
The architecture and urban space in our time face new challenges. The low fertility rate, the population decline due to aging, the climate crisis, increasing safety accidents of buildings, and the outbreak of COVID-19 call for a change in the viewpoint on architecture and urban space.
The Institute will present new alternatives to respond to the needs and challenges of our society with the goal of creating sustainable architecture and urban space. In addition, focusing on communication and empathy, the Institute will conduct research on policies and systems for the improvement of architecture and urban space, as well as research to improve the value of space and the culture related to space.
