Background

Chiba University’s Design Research Institute is headquartered at their Sumida Satellite Campus, which just recently opened in 2022. Sumida City is west of central Tokyo and is characterized by Edo-period style shops and buildings along with small quiet neighborhoods juxtaposed by new architecture.

Problem

When people search for “Sumida”, most results are of the landmark Tokyo Skytree or the Sumida river. This is not representative of local Sumida’s long history or culture.
