Overview

Advanced Technologies allow our life to get comfortable. However, disposing waste or environmental degradation has huge environmental impacts and can cause serious problems. For example, every single person would stay cool in summer and would feel warm in winter to stay in comfort. In return for that, we consume to excess energy to cause CO2 to be emitted.

After 3.8 billion years of evolution, Nature has learned : What works. What is appropriate.

Sekisui Chemical Group believes that we should learn from nature for saving environment . Through the program, we are going to utilize knowledge of fundamental science learned from nature.

We will make biomimetic and design thinking fusion to create original ideas for designing “Living in Comfort” by Manufacturing Based on Innovations Inspired by Nature.

Educational Goals
  1. Learning utilizing biomimetic knowledge of fundamental science learned from nature.
  2. Experiensing how to live in comfort through a field work at a housing exhivision centor.
  3. Leaning design thinking how to overcome trad-off situation with biomimetic
