AboutAbout the lab
Computers in architecture?
The Hirasawa Lab studies the use of computers without restricting itself to any particular area of architecture.
Its recent keywords are algorithmic design, digital archives, robots, AI, and artificial skill.
The lab also takes on machining of wood and precise 3D modeling as joint research and commissioned work.
At the satellite workshop opened as a project in Sumida Ward, visitors can see much of what the equipment at Nishi-Chiba can do.
Key terms
- Algorithmic design
- A design approach in which a procedure of computation is built and form is generated as its result
- Digital archive
- Recording buildings and materials as data and preserving them in a form that can be used later
- Artificial skill
- Realizing human skills with machines, as in a robot that finishes plaster surfaces
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies how computers can be used, without limiting itself to any one area of architecture. It also works on wood processing using multi-axis machines and robots.
