Design for Learning Environments in Art Projects post 3.11

Abstract

This study aims to construct an inclusive disaster prevention system through art / design, and examines my art projects post 3.11from the viewpoint of learning environment design. With reference to actor network theory as a theoretical framework, I analyze the social and technical arrangments that led the art projects and participant’s agencies. The target cases are "Maneki House Mural Painting Project" (2013) and "Stand-Ins Production Corps" (2014). As a result, earthquake remains and creative civil society played an important role in shaping social and technical arrangements. In addition, Disability student’s agencies have changed during the art project. I concluded that community building through art / design is essential for promoting disaster mitigation education.
