Architectural Informatics Lab (Kado Lab)
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses information technology in architecture to do something new in how space is seen and made.
AboutAbout the lab
Something new for architecture through information technology.
The Architectural Informatics Lab is a lab that aims to do something new in the field of architecture by using information technology.
The professor in charge specializes in building construction methods and architectural informatics. The keywords of recent activities are artificial intelligence and deep learning, and architectural informatics education.
Research proceeds while students learn 3D CAD, programming, AI libraries, and game engines.
For bachelor's and master's theses, the goal is to present one cohesive proposal that makes the people concerned sit up and take notice.
Key terms
- Deep learning
- A machine learning method that learns features from many examples. It is the technology underlying artificial intelligence.
- Point cloud
- Data that represents a shape as a large collection of points measured with lasers or cameras.
- Building construction methods
- The way buildings are made: what materials are used and how they are assembled.

Using information technology, the lab aims at two things: explaining architectural space in an easy-to-understand way, and solving problems in building production. With artificial intelligence and deep learning as tools, it makes it possible to handle in numbers what has so far been described by intuition.
*Illustrative imageExplaining architectural space clearly
Using AI, the lab makes it possible to evaluate quantitatively spaces that have so far been treated intuitively. It also has research in which NPCs driven by AI in a virtual space experience architecture and are observed, with work such as simulating wheelchair movement.
*Illustrative imageSolving building production problems with information technology
The lab proposes a construction quality control system based on point clouds and photographs, using video from cameras worn by workers. It also aims to build a "Timber AI" that can recognize the components and meaning of wooden buildings.
