Forum for Architecture of Universities: Archive and Outreach

The architecture that embellishes cities contains the memory of human activities inside and outside the buildings.
This forum focuses on the architecture in universities, which stand very close to the local community but offer few opportunities for people to experience them.
Through lectures and case studies, the program will share and discuss projects in several universities to highlight their architecture and the activities of architectural archives in Japan and abroad.

Language: Japanese with language support in English
* The lecture will be held in Japanese. However, we will provide English language support for non-Japanese speakers. Further details will be announced later on this website.

Keio University Mita Campus Architecture Open Day

Have you ever thought about the architecture around you?

You see lots of architecture everyday: Houses you pass by, crowded stations, and your school… How about taking a little time to view them?
Keio University has buildings which are designated as Important Cultural Properties. Did you know that some buildings at Keio were built before the war? Or, do you know who designed the library where you study and borrow books?

The Keio University Art Center has organized this Architecture Open Day to introduce the architecture on Mita Campus, including the Mita Public Speaking Hall (Mita Enzetsu-kan, built 1875) and the old “Noguchi Room” (Shin Banraisha, built 1951/2005) which are usually not open to the public. Participation is free and is open to the general public.

They will also be given a map with explanations of the important sculptural and historical features of Keio. We hope people will enjoy being given free rein to roam the grounds of Keio with a map in-hand.
