Research Objects
In order to grasp “cultural anthropology” as “design” rather than as an academic subject, United Design established a laboratory in 2016 and created a slew of design categories. Nature, regional culture and design; ethnicity, customs and design; and human activities (life) and design: By means of fieldwork, from the context of such disparate things as the environment, customs, manners, geography, history, activities, etc., we are unraveling the concept of “design that is not designed.”
Research Categories
Anonymity • Commonality • The Sacred, the Secular and the Profane in Design • Context • Analogy • Heterogeneous Continuity • Contemporariness and Form • Emotion and Landscape • Things that Are Nostalgic and Things that Aren’t • Ethnicity • Interpretation of Beauty • Onomatopoeia and Design • Humanity and Design, etc.
Research Results
Both in the capacity of a laboratory and as United Design, we approach and output the sources we extract from our research results in a variety of ways.
