Kazuo Asahiro, Professor
0 student voices
Professor Kazuo Asahiro's lab on green space conservation studies the conservation and restoration of green space environments in suburban areas and in farming and mountain village areas. Through people's conservation and management, green space environments support functions such as biodiversity, amenity, scenic beauty, production of agricultural and forestry products, and disaster prevention. Working with citizens, government, and experts, the lab carries out research, education, policy recommendations, and practice, with the research goal of implementing conservation design (planning and design) in society. Its higher-level goal is to train people who can feel the beauty of the environment and communicate it.
Tetsuya Ukai, Professor
0 student voices
Professor Tetsuya Ukai works on architectural design and urban design through both theoretical research and practice. In recent papers, the lab investigates how university campuses affect the surrounding city, using data analysis and simulation. Using universities in Japan and Egypt as examples, the lab also examines where campuses should be located. The university's faculty list describes the specialty as "architectural design, urban design."
Naoyuki Oi, Professor
0 student voices
The lab studies how to evaluate urban and architectural environments from the perspective of human psychology. With a view spanning individual well-being to the global environment, its research provides a foundation for realizing and sustaining good urban and architectural environments. To understand the psychophysiological relationship between people and their environments, the lab conducts surveys and research. Topics include the safety and comfort of lighting, the sense of openness in indoor spaces, wayfinding, and the evaluation of urban streetscapes.
Kenichi Tanoe, Professor
0 student voices
Professor Kenichi Tanoe's lab studies the design and planning of buildings essential to daily life, beginning with housing and including educational, cultural, and healthcare facilities. From the user's perspective, the lab considers how to realize distinctive, attractive spaces in which people and the environment permeate each other. Research themes include the design of housing and residential areas, housing planning in developing countries, and user-participatory design methods. The main goal is to train professionals involved in architectural and community design (survey, concept development, planning, and design).
Tomokazu Yoshioka, Professor
0 student voices
Professor Tomokazu Yoshioka's lab, in the field of building structures, researches the development of new technologies and construction methods that improve the seismic safety of buildings. In particular, it works on increasing the friction of friction joints, developing new friction dampers, and developing new construction methods that use friction dampers to reduce earthquake damage. In education, the professor teaches lectures and exercises on structural mechanics of buildings, seismic design, structural design of buildings, and earthquake disaster prevention, and supervises student research.
Tomo Inoe, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Associate Professor Tomo Inoe, who works in building construction planning, studies digital archives of architecture and structural steel archaeology, among other topics. The lab is building archives of railway drawings of Bangladesh Railway and of architectural works by the architects Yoshichika Uchida and Shoei Yoh. In structural steel archaeology, the lab uses the manufacturing year of steel members as a clue to date buildings from the British colonial period. The lab also lists facades, building skins, and glass as research themes.
Masaaki Iwamoto, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Iwamoto Lab studies the design of modern and contemporary architecture in Asia. Twentieth-century architectural design theory was built mainly around the West, but in Asia, where climate and culture differ, distinctive modern and contemporary architecture has emerged. The lab aims to actively evaluate this architecture and broaden the possibilities of architectural design. Its research, creative work, and development themes include the creative use of timber, prototype development for low-cost architecture, and architectural design for hot and humid climates.
Yuki Kato, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Japanese Architectural History Lab (Yuki Kato) studies the history of architecture in Japan. Its topics include architectural drawings such as architectural technical manuals and okoshi-ezu, revival and historical verification (kosho) in the early modern period, and the history of Japanese architectural history as a discipline. The lab also examines what the classification of shrine main halls by form meant in the architectural history of the early modern and modern periods. The faculty profile page describes the professor's specialty as Japanese architectural history.
Kenjiro Kito, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The lab of Associate Professor Kenjiro Kito specializes in landscape design and studies stormwater management and blue-green infrastructure. Focusing on Norway, the lab is comparing district-scale practices with related legal reforms. In classes, students do design exercises based on redevelopment areas in Arita Town and Tenjin, hearing about current conditions and issues from local government officials and community development groups. Lab seminars cover themes such as flood control, groundwater conservation, and land management of farmland and woodland.
Yuka Himeno, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Associate Professor Yuka Himeno specializes in urban planning and regional and rural planning, and analyzes local resources from the perspectives of landscape and tourism. The lab examines the use of public spaces, the relationship between design and land prices, requirements for making use of vacant lots and vacant houses, and the sustainability of remote islands and small communities. Through this research, the lab aims to build methods for formulating plans that suit the characteristics of each region. The lab works with community organizations and basic municipalities, and also carries out practical initiatives that put its research results to use.
