Building Construction Methods and Production Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab studying building construction methods for keeping buildings in use for a long time.
AboutAbout the lab
Studying how buildings are built and how they are used.
The Building Construction Methods and Production Lab studies methodologies for keeping buildings in use for a long time.
The lab says that many buildings in Japan are demolished because their social lifespan ends before they reach the end of their physical lifespan.
Its research takes two perspectives: considering future maintenance and renovation from the design stage, and building stock utilization, which finds new use value in buildings whose social lifespan has ended.
In other words, the lab studies how buildings are "built" and how they are "used," and also considers how future work related to architecture will be done.
Key terms
- Social lifespan
- The lifespan of a building determined by whether it continues to be used in society, regardless of whether it is still physically usable
- Building stock
- The collection of buildings that have already been built. Ways of making use of it are the subject of the research
- Renovation
- Work or efforts that modify an existing building to create new uses and value.
ResearchResearch themes
In an era with a surplus of buildings, the lab regards extending the social lifespan of buildings as a key challenge, and studies methodologies for keeping buildings in use for a long time. For how buildings are built, it works with housing manufacturers and local builders; for how they are used, it works with planners at renovation businesses.
