AboutAbout the lab
Designing buildings and cities from the voices of those who live in and use them
The Kojima Lab studies architectural environment science, especially environmental psychology and environment-behavior studies.
Homes, buildings, and cities cannot simply be thrown away because people do not like them.
The lab therefore investigates the awareness and behavior of users, residents, and managers, especially their needs and customer satisfaction.
Developing the methods of survey and analysis themselves is also a pillar of the lab.

ResearchResearch themes
To improve homes, buildings, and cities, the lab investigates the awareness and behavior of the people who use them. It studies survey and analysis methods themselves and applies them to evaluating real buildings and cities.
*Illustrative imageCapturing real needs
Asking one question at a time, such as "What flooring should we use?", only produces superficial answers. The lab uses the evaluation grid method, which repeats interviewing and organizing to uncover deeper needs such as "I want footsteps not to be noticeable."
*Illustrative imageFacility satisfaction and experiential value
For facilities such as libraries, theaters, and museums, the lab investigates what satisfies users and what experiences they find valuable. It examines evaluation methods for improving facilities.
