    　View Summary

    The history of design education in a broad sense, including painting, sculpture, architecture, various crafts, and various arts, was investigated and studied by a principal investigator who mainly specializes in the West and fourteen research co-workers. Although historically important Western Europe has been the center of this study, the principal investigator has also investigated other regions and the final research report could include the history of important educational institutions in Russia, Latin America and Asia. It was a work by Nikolaus Pevsner, the Academies of Art: Past and Present, which preceded this study, was important, but could not include Russia or history of architectural education. This study was able to describe the history of architectural education, including a history of art education in Russia in the outline, including the uniqueness of architectural education in Portugal and Spain in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

    　View Summary

    Paul Poiret, the couturier who played an active part in Paris in the early 20th century, developed the wide design activities which reach not only clothes but also living space. I clarified his considerable influence on the French design movement of the same period, and showed a new image of Poiret, no merely "fashion designer". In addition, I paid attention to the fashion works done by a lacquer artist Jean Dunand and two painters Raoul Dufy, Tsuguharu Foujita, and I pointed out the diversity and profundity of Paris Fashion in the early twentieth century, which allowed crossing the border among the different genres.
