[Teacher's Voice]
Name: Yohei Takahira, full-time lecturer in the field of space design
The works of Kuwasawa's students have a unique brilliance with hidden potential as answers to the question, "Wouldn't it be nice if such a world existed?" after observing the current environment. I am often taken aback myself. Kuwasawa is a "laboratory" for finding your own answers, so it's a place for experiments. I hope that people who want to experiment more and more without fear will gather. Some of the assignments are plain and monotonous work, but the accumulation of them will eventually be expressed in the form of graduation, so I think it's the perfect place for people who can put their energy into it.

[Graduate Voice]
Name: Kang Yi Joo Birthplace: South Korea (Seoul)
I decided to enroll at <Kuwasawa> after learning that I could study all fields of design in the first year. Ever since I was studying fine art, I have realized the importance of the basics, so Kuwasawa's "basic design" and "basic modeling" classes were very appealing. One thing that left an impression on me was the “Hand Sculpture” class in the first year. By shaving and polishing the wood, you can create a comfortable shape for yourself. It was refreshing to think, "Is this what you do when you study design?" It was difficult to make it the way I wanted it to be, but I feel that working with my hands without thinking has helped me develop the awareness I need to have for design.
