Overview | This project involved renovating the student lounge used by all students in the Osaka General Campus of the Japan Education Foundation, which houses Osaka Mode Gakuen, HAL Osaka, International Fashion University Osaka Campus, and Osaka International College of Technology. It is a base for disseminating new value and services, used by students from a wide range of departments, including CG production, game development, fashion, robotics, and System Development. |

Issues/Themes | To make it a flexible and convenient place that can be used by a variety of students and compensates for the lack of a lounge. In addition, the overall visual appeal creates a sense of excitement that motivates visitors to the school and stimulates their desire to enroll, while creating a space that gives a glimpse of the future stimulates the creative minds of students. |
Space Solution/Realization | The school combines science fields such as robotics with fiction such as games and computer graphics, and has created a "Design Fiction Lounge," which intuitively suggests that this is a place that will lead the future through both non-fiction and fiction. By recreating the timeless essence of the science fiction world, while still being flexible enough to accommodate a variety of usage scenarios, we have created a space that gives users a sense of the future and stimulates a sense of non-verbal excitement. |
