Dr. Dahniar, who completed her PhD at Hiroshima University in the summer of 2020, came to Japan for the first time in four years and visited Hiroshima University. She is an assistant professor in the Department of Architecture at Hasanuddin University (Makassar, Sulawesi) in the Republic of Indonesia.
Dr. Dahniar came to Japan to exchange views and opinions on educational and academic collaboration between Hasanuddin University and Hiroshima University in architecture. In response to the six-member delegation’s visit, the Hiroshima University Architecture Group held a meeting and showed them our facilities.
I believe that there is much to learn from Southeast Asian countries and regions in improving Japanese architecture, so I hope to promote research collaborations and student exchange gradually.
Dr. Dahniar belonged to our laboratory, so she visited our laboratory room for the first time in a long time as part of the facility tour after the conference.
There was the Exhibition of Diploma Design in Hiroshima, “HIROSHIMA SOTSUKEI” in march 2023. YAMADA Kohei, bachelor student, won the HARA KOJI award and the citizen award. Congratulations!!
