The Building Wind Engineering Lab conducts research to reduce disasters caused by strong winds and gusts from typhoons, tornadoes, and similar events. Through observation, experiments, and numerical simulation, the lab clarifies the flow of wind around buildings, how buildings sway, and the process leading up to building failure. The lab also researches risk management, which evaluates the impact of damage and considers effective ways to reduce disasters. It also studies the use of wind as a resource, and proposes architecture and urban development that coexist with wind.

The Earthquake Environmental Engineering Lab studies the characteristics of the ground and earthquake sources that produce shaking, in order to ensure the seismic safety of buildings. Shaking in an earthquake varies greatly with the source, the path along which the shaking travels, the ground near the surface, and the interaction among ground, foundation, and building. By analyzing records of earthquakes in Japan and around the world, as well as records of slight ground tremors, the lab aims to predict the strong shaking of future large earthquakes with high accuracy. It is a lab of the Disaster Prevention Research Institute (Uji Campus), also known as the Matsushima-Nagashima Lab.

The Urban Disaster Management Planning Lab studies how to rebuild communities after disasters and how to prepare for them. Japan is expected to be hit in the near future by disasters larger than the Great East Japan Earthquake, such as a massive Nankai Trough earthquake or an earthquake directly beneath the Tokyo metropolitan area. The lab considers how to overcome catastrophic disasters not only from a technological perspective but also from historical and cultural ones. It explores urban disaster management planning that is highly safe while remaining in harmony with the environment, landscape, history, and culture.

The Human Environment Design Lab pursues sustainable human environments grounded in regional culture and the local natural environment. From beautiful nature to nature that causes disasters, the lab studies the many aspects of the global environment and how human environments have been built in response, learning from actual cities and villages. It puts the knowledge gained into form as policy, planning, and design, and seeks to apply it to society through practice. The lab is part of the School of Global Environmental Studies, with undergraduate students from the School of Architecture and graduate students from the Department of Architecture and the Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies.
