The lab designs and studies seismic isolation structures that make buildings resistant to earthquakes.
AboutAbout the lab
Mastering seismic isolation for earthquake-resistant buildings.
The Hayabe Lab designs and studies building structures, focusing on seismic isolation structures.
Professor Yasuhiro Hayabe worked on structural design at Taisei Corporation before becoming a professor at Waseda University.
He has been involved in the structural design of buildings that use seismic isolation, including The Okura Tokyo and the Nippon Television Bancho Studio.
He has also now opened Hayabe Structural Design Office, and works on building structures through both practice and research.
Key terms
- Seismic isolation structure
- A structure in which devices are placed between the building and the ground so that earthquake shaking is less likely to be transmitted to the building
- Structural design
- Design that determines the frame of a building, such as columns and beams, so that it can withstand earthquakes, wind, and its own weight
