A student dormitory, Settle International, was built following the concept of "an international village". This project was a public-private-academic collaboration with the aim of internationalisation and regional development of Ito Campus of Kyushu University. International students of Kyushu University come from about 97 countries, and we wanted to create an environment where international students and Japanese students can deepen their understanding of each other's culture through communication. In common areas, such as the entrance and elevator halls, there are graphic walls which display the rich natural scenery of Itoshima. There are dining and community lounges on the first floor, study rooms and prayer rooms on the top floor. We designed spaces where students can gather, have conversations, and breed creative ideas.
