2022 Nagoya Zokei University moved from its current campus in Komaki to the city of Nagoya. The new campus is located next to Meijo Park, the home of Nagoya Castle Meijo Koen Station is right below the grounds. The building spans the station, which bisects the grounds into east and west. In other words, the building itself is a bridge. The place that corresponds to the bridge girder is a large open space that is 104 m by 104 m on the top floor.
Nagoya Zokei University is an arts school. The campus move presented an opportunity to consolidate and reorganize the nine courses of study at the university into five fields. Courses such as Japanese-style painting, Western-style painting, sculpture, interior design, manga, illustration, CG, etc. will no longer be divided by skill, medium, application, or product availability.
Instead, they have been reorganized according to their original purpose by considering first of all what the purpose of the art production activity or design activity is and who it is for. Research courses have been reorganized into the following five field.
1. Art Expression
2. Visual Literature
3. Community Area Design
4. Community Sense Design
5. Representation Design
The center of activity for these five fields is the 104 meter by 104 meter large studio. It can be used like a shared office, providing opportunities for students from the different areas of study to interact with each other
