As part of the 2014 Fujisawa Citizen's Lecture Series "Monozukuri x SFC," the first session, "Housing that Simultaneously Realizes Health, Safety, and Energy Savings: The Co-Evolving House Challenge," and the second session, "The Past, Present, and Future of 3D Printers," were held.
In the first session, Professor Yasushi Ikeda of the Graduate School of Media and Governance and the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies introduced the Co-Evolving House (Keio-style Co-Evolving House) and its initiatives. The house was built on the Shonan Fujisawa Campus (SFC) by an industry-academia collaboration project developing smart, robot-like housing.
The second session featured a lecture by Associate Professor Hiroya Tanaka of the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies, followed by a tour of 3D printers and other equipment at the "Fab Space" in the SFC Media Center. This provided an opportunity for the participating Fujisawa citizens to get hands-on experience with digital fabrication equipment and feel closer to the world of personal manufacturing.
The Fujisawa Citizen's Lecture Series is a lifelong learning program co-hosted by Fujisawa City and SFC, open to those who live, work, or study in Fujisawa City.
The third session, titled "The Development of Sportswear and Sports Equipment and Their Contribution to Records: What Will Emerge for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics?," will feature Associate Professor Yuji Ogi of the Graduate School of Media and Governance and the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies. In addition to the development of sportswear and equipment that he is actually working on at Keio University, he will introduce new methods for measuring athletes' abilities. We encourage you to attend.
