This website, "D-LOUNGE Geography," aims to sort the past projects (events, workshops, exhibitions, study sessions,
etc.) held at Musashino Art University Design Lounge by dividing each project into design categories and operation
objectives and to archive these project data from the perspective of design.
The accumulated past D-LOUNGE projects may be perceived as geological layers. The 18 design categories proposed have been originally reformulated by D-LOUNGE in reference to the design categories often used by the design departments of Musashino Art University.
The graph shows each project and 6 skills. The skills have been reformulated by D-LOUNGE based on the foundation ideals and educational policies of the design departments of Musashino Art University.
* The design categories and skills shown in this website may not include all categories/skills regarding the field of
design. Moreover, the terms and concepts shown here may not be identical or similar to those officially stated
