The lab studies architecture and the environment, including the renovation and demolition of buildings and the recycling of building materials.
AboutAbout the lab
Thinking about the environment from the perspective of building production.
Seike Lab is a lab specializing in environmental studies, and it conducts research under the theme of "architecture and the environment."
Its subjects include techniques for renovating and demolishing buildings, techniques for recycling building materials, and the decision-making processes at the design and production stages that allow for environmental considerations.
Past degree theses have addressed topics such as resource circulation of building materials, reuse of emergency temporary housing, and evaluation of earthquake damage to ceilings and walls.
The lab belongs to the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences. In addition to its space on the Kashiwa Campus, it also has a lab in Engineering Building 11 (Faculty of Engineering) on the Hongo Campus.
Key terms
- Exterior wall
- A wall that encloses the outside of a building. It protects the interior from rain, wind, heat, and other elements.
- Resource circulation
- Reusing used building materials and similar items as resources again instead of discarding them.
- Emergency temporary housing
- Housing provided on a temporary basis for people who have lost their homes in a disaster.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab's central goals are to establish methods for evaluating environmental impact that take into account the passage of time from a building's production to its demolition, and to establish decision-making processes for realizing environmentally conscious architecture. From the standpoint of considering building production and the environment together, the lab also researches renovation, demolition, and recycling techniques.
*Illustrative imageEvaluating Environmental Impact Over Time
The lab aims to establish methods for evaluating the environmental impact of buildings, taking into account the passage of time from a building's production through maintenance and management, renovation, preservation and regeneration, and demolition.
*Illustrative imageDecision-Making for Environmentally Conscious Architecture
To realize environmentally conscious architecture, the lab works on establishing decision-making processes: how to make decisions at the design and production stages.
*Illustrative imageDesign Processes and Production Methods for Exterior Walls
From the perspective of planning building construction methods, the lab examines design processes and production methods for exterior walls, which form the boundary between a building and the outside environment, that achieve environmental consideration while satisfying basic performance requirements.
*Illustrative imageCommunicating Technical Information on Building Production
The lab also examines how technical information on building production related to the environment should be provided.
