Fujita Lab
Machine-translated · View original
An architectural history lab that reads how historic buildings and cities came to be.
AboutAbout the lab
The history of architecture and cities that only you can see.
The Fujita Lab is an architectural history lab established in 2015.
It examines the meaning and formation of historic buildings and urban environments.
The professor specializes in medieval church architecture of the Caucasus region, centered on Armenia and Georgia. Using this as a base, the lab has broadened its research to the architectural and urban history of modern Japan and Asia, and to the preservation and reuse of historic townscapes.
Students are expected to think of their research themes on their own initiative and find them themselves, and the lab turns away no theme as long as it falls within the framework of architectural and urban history.
