AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how architecture appears and is represented.
Shiozaki Lab explores how architecture appears and how it is represented.
The lab studies themes such as "Space, Language, and Memory" and "Architecture, Images, and the Gaze."
It examines the language of design theory in which architects describe their own work, the referential relationships of form, scale, and color among houses, and images of urban space found in photographs and directions.
The professor who leads the lab is also a practicing architect, moving between research and design practice.
Key terms
- Design theory
- An architect's explanation of the thinking and methods behind their own designs
- Scale
- How the size and dimensions of architecture are set; how it is perceived changes depending on its relationship to people and surrounding objects
- Referential relationship
- The relationship showing which earlier work the form or color of a work is based on

The lab explores how architecture appears and how it is represented. Built around themes such as "Space, Language, and Memory" and "Architecture, Images, and the Gaze," it pursues both research through academic papers and design practice.
*Illustrative imageReferential Relationships Among Houses
Architects sometimes design by drawing on past houses. The lab investigates how form, scale, and color refer to one another among contemporary houses, and explores how design thinking is passed on.
*Illustrative imageSpace in Photographs and Directions
Architecture and cities reach people through photographs and directions. By analyzing the depth created by photographs of houses from the 1960s and 70s, and the image of Tokyo that appears in directions accompanied by photographs, the lab explores how space is communicated.
*Illustrative imageConnecting Inside and Outside in Urban Houses
In urban houses, how to connect inside and outside on a limited site is a central design challenge. The lab examines how linear members and added elements break down the boundary between inside and outside in houses published in magazines since 1970.
