AboutAbout the lab
Exploring architecture through its materials and records
The Architectural Construction and Planning Lab studies the building of archives of drawings and architectural works, and the dating of buildings using steel frame members as clues (steel frame archaeology).
The lab is building archives of Bangladesh Railway's railway drawings and of architects' works.
Its research activities also include the corrosion resistance of steel windows and doors, and historical research on the development of glass blocks and their application in architecture.
Associate Professor Asao Inoue teaches courses on descriptive geometry and drafting, design studio, building construction methods, and building production.
