Lllabo’s approach to research in architecture can be situated between architectural history, theory, and design practice, and between the scale of the city and the scale of the building. We are interested in stimulating synthetic research investigations, bringing together conventionally disparate elements under coherent sets of questions, which are then examined with a range of appropriate methodologies at several scales. Despite such potentially heterogeneous origins, the destination of such research would always be directed towards architecture (ie: the history, theory, and practice of the constructed environment). Research will be conscious of the global conversations around architecture and conducted in both English and Japanese, and other languages where necessary. Students should consider themselves ready to think and work outside the frame of “Japan”.
