AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the texture and aging of materials
The lab of Lecturer Jun Tsuchiya studies the texture of materials used in architecture and the various ways people relate to the local materials that make up a landscape.
One of its current research themes is the aging of wood, in which the surface changes color or cracks over the years.
From the viewpoint of Kansei evaluation, the lab investigates the texture and color characteristics of architectural finishing materials and the effects of materials on human psychology.

- The phenomenon in which the color and surface condition of a material change over the years.
- Finishing materials

*Illustrative imageEvaluation of the aging of wood finishes
The lab evaluates how the surface color of wood changes over time depending on how it is finished. It also studies changes in the surface color of exterior wood exposed outdoors, and the relationship between finishes and discoloration caused by ultraviolet light.
