Machine-translated · View original
The lab archives architectural drawings and works and dates buildings from their structural steel.
AboutAbout the lab
Preserving architecture in records and dating buildings from their structural steel.
Associate Professor Tomo Inoe, who works in building construction planning, studies digital archives of architecture and structural steel archaeology, among other topics.
The lab is building archives of railway drawings of Bangladesh Railway and of architectural works by the architects Yoshichika Uchida and Shoei Yoh.
In structural steel archaeology, the lab uses the manufacturing year of steel members as a clue to date buildings from the British colonial period.
The lab also lists facades, building skins, and glass as research themes.
