Architectural Space Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uncovers the relationship between people and space and creates the architectural types of the future.
AboutAbout the lab
Seeing society and people through space as a tool
The Architectural Space Lab conducts a variety of surveys and thought experiments to uncover the fundamental relationship between people and space.
Based on the findings, the lab develops and tests the building types that contemporary society needs in order to keep up with the times.
It is an interdisciplinary field that aims to connect practice and theory.
As the Onoda Lab, it works together with the Welfare Architecture Lab.
Key terms
- Architectural planning
- The field that studies who uses a building and how, and considers its contents, layout, and use
- Building type
- A type of building shaped over time by how it is used, such as a school, hospital, or hall

ResearchResearch themes
The lab views architectural planning as a science that looks at society and people through the concept of "space." It observes the relationship between people and space, thinks about the programs desired for the coming era, and, where conditions allow, works with architects to realize them as buildings.
*Illustrative imageThe fundamental relationship between people and space
The lab observes the sites where space emerges through human behavior and perception, and finds the structures and relationships hidden there. Through repeated surveys and thought experiments, it seeks to uncover the fundamental relationship between people and space.
*Illustrative imageArchitectural types for the future
The lab brings together the findings from its observations and thinks about the programs desired in this era. Where conditions allow, it realizes them as architecture in collaboration with architects, and tests those types.
