Tomo Inoe, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Architectural Construction and Planning Lab studies the building of archives of drawings and architectural works, and the dating of buildings using steel frame members as clues (steel frame archaeology). The lab is building archives of Bangladesh Railway's railway drawings and of architects' works. Its research activities also include the corrosion resistance of steel windows and doors, and historical research on the development of glass blocks and their application in architecture. Associate Professor Asao Inoue teaches courses on descriptive geometry and drafting, design studio, building construction methods, and building production.
Masaaki Iwamoto, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Iwamoto Lab studies the design of modern and contemporary architecture in Asia. Architectural design theory of the 20th century was built around the West, but in Asia, where climates and cultures differ, distinctive modern and contemporary architecture has emerged. The lab aims to evaluate this architecture positively and to expand the possibilities of architectural design. Its current themes in research, design, and development include practicing circular design that promotes regional circulation, creative use of timber, and architectural design in hot and humid climates.
Yuki Kato, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Associate Professor Yuki Kato's lab studies the history of architecture in Japan. It studies revivalism and historical verification in early modern architecture, using subjects such as the imperial palace (dairi) and Shinto shrines. It also studies architectural drawings, such as architectural technical manuals and okoshi-ezu (fold-up drawings), focusing on builders and craftsmen and on the management and collection of the drawings. The lab also works on the history of the discipline of Japanese architectural history itself.
Kenjiro Kito, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Associate Professor Kenjiro Kito, in the field of landscape design, studies environmental design using stormwater management and green connectivity as clues. The lab examines how district-scale efforts to combine greenery and stormwater in Norway relate to legal reform, and also tries to apply the findings in Japan. In the lab seminar, topics include flood control, groundwater conservation, and land management of farmland and woodland. In design studio courses for undergraduate and graduate students, the lab targets redevelopment districts in Arita Town and Tenjin, and interviews local government officials and community development groups.
Yuka Himeno, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Urban Planning Lab (Yuka Himeno) specializes in urban planning and regional and rural planning, and studies sustainable regional design. From the perspectives of landscape and tourism, the lab analyzes regional resources. It investigates the use of public spaces, the conditions for making use of vacant lots and vacant houses, and the conditions for remote islands and small communities to continue to exist, and explores how to create plans suited to the characteristics of each region. The lab also works with community organizations and municipalities on practical initiatives that put its research results to use.
Ayako Fukushima, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Under Associate Professor Ayako Fukushima, the Cultural Heritage Studies Lab researches the theory of cultural heritage conservation, methods for evaluating its value, and the history of church architecture in Japan and Asia. For undergraduate and graduate students, the lab teaches lectures on cultural heritage and practical exercises in cultural heritage studies. Before joining Kyushu University, Associate Professor Fukushima worked at the UNESCO Beijing Office, where she was involved in managing conservation and restoration projects for archaeological sites.
Tomoko Imasaka, Lecturer
0 student voices
The lab of Lecturer Tomoko Imasaka specializes in theoretical chemistry, physical chemistry, and analytical chemistry, and conducts research on toxic substances. Using quantum chemistry calculation software, the lab predicts from theory the transition energies and ionization potentials of substances such as dioxins and sarin. The lab analyzes data from gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and has also created a program that calculates an original reliability factor to improve detection limits. Listed research themes include laser ionization mass spectrometry, development of mass spectrometers, and generation of ultrashort light pulses.
Jun Tsuchiya, Lecturer
0 student voices
The architectural materials lab (Lecturer Jun Tsuchiya) studies the texture of materials used in architecture, and the relationship between people and the local materials that make up the landscape. The lab investigates how finishing materials such as wood change over time, and how people perceive those materials. It is the lab of a faculty member in the Environmental Design Course of the School of Design.
Yoichi Kawamoto, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
Assistant Professor Yoichi Kawamoto studies urban climate, mainly from the perspective of the thermal environment. People are influenced by their surroundings and also influence them, so the two act on each other. The lab works toward forming a sustainable society that aims for comfortable living environments while reducing the burden on the natural environment. Its research themes are simulation of urban climate using mesoscale meteorological models, and elucidation of the mechanisms of urban climate through field observations.
Rei Shimazaki, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
The History of Western Architecture Lab mainly investigates Gothic church architecture in France and studies its construction techniques. Focusing on the triforium, a passage inside the walls of a church, the lab examines construction techniques. The lab also conducts research on the conservation and restoration of churches, and investigates architectural models and micro-architecture.
