AboutAbout the lab
Analyzing architectural design with mathematics
The Yamakawa Lab treats the safety, economy, usability, aesthetics, and other qualities of buildings as various kinds of performance, and studies the relationship between these performances and design using a mathematical method called structural optimization.
It explores which structures are advantageous and what universal properties they have.
The research mathematically analyzes architectural design.
Key terms
- Structural optimization
- A method of using mathematical techniques to study the relationship between a building's performance, such as safety and economy, and its design
- Robust design
- An approach to design that aims to remain strong even in unforeseen situations. It is one of this lab's themes
ResearchResearch themes
The Yamakawa Lab optimizes the structures of buildings using mathematical methods and investigates the relationship between performance and design. Its research themes include structural optimization of building frames, robust design that remains strong in unforeseen situations, and form generation and response control design for spatial structures.
