Gakuhito Hirasawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Hirasawa Lab studies the use of computers without restricting itself to any particular area of architecture. Its recent keywords are algorithmic design, digital archives, robots, AI, and artificial skill. The lab also takes on machining of wood and precise 3D modeling as joint research and commissioned work. At the satellite workshop opened as a project in Sumida Ward, visitors can see much of what the equipment at Nishi-Chiba can do.
Tatsuya Hayashi, Professor
0 student voices
The Hayashi Lab specializes in building environmental engineering and in research on shifting to an environmentally conscious society through architecture and cities. Its research areas include wellness offices and intellectual productivity, health and productivity management, and motivation to learn. They also include district energy supply and energy simulation. The lab belongs to Environmental Formation Management, one of the education and research areas of the Architecture Course.
Keita Kado, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
The Architectural Informatics Lab is a lab that aims to do something new in the field of architecture by using information technology. The professor in charge specializes in building construction methods and architectural informatics. The keywords of recent activities are artificial intelligence and deep learning, and architectural informatics education. Research proceeds while students learn 3D CAD, programming, AI libraries, and game engines. For bachelor's and master's theses, the goal is to present one cohesive proposal that makes the people concerned sit up and take notice.
Toru Takahashi, Professor
0 student voices
The Takahashi Lab focuses on loads and external forces acting on buildings, and on structural reliability. Using meteorological data and experiments, the lab investigates how natural forces such as snow, wind, and earthquakes affect buildings. A method for estimating snow loads, developed by the lab, was adopted in the Architectural Institute of Japan's load recommendations and in national notifications. The lab is also carrying out damage surveys after typhoons and research on how people move indoors during major earthquakes.
Yukihiro Harada, Professor
0 student voices
The Harada Lab specializes in steel structures and seismic design. Steel-frame structures and building structures are also listed among its research fields. The lab belongs to Structural Safety Planning, one of the education and research areas of the Architecture Course.
Takeo Hirashima, Professor
0 student voices
The Hirashima Lab specializes in building structures and fire, and studies structural fire engineering. The lab investigates, through experiments and numerical analysis, how many hours timber columns and beams can withstand a fire. To address fire safety, a key problem when building large-scale buildings out of timber, the lab aims to establish design methods for fire resistance performance.
Yukiko Nakamura, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nakamura Lab specializes in earthquake-resistant building structures and earthquake disaster prevention engineering. The lab belongs to Structural Safety Planning, one of the education and research areas of the Architecture Course.
Yuko Shimada, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The lab specializes in building structures, steel structures, and seismic design. It belongs to the Structural Safety Planning field, one of the education and research areas of the Architecture Course.
Kazuhiro Hayashi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The lab conducts research on the seismic structures of buildings and on disaster prevention and mitigation. Focusing on reinforced concrete structures and steel-concrete composite structures, it aims to advance design methods and enable immediate estimation of earthquake damage. In addition to various structural experiments, the lab carries out numerical analysis and earthquake observation in existing buildings. It also develops new building structural systems and proposes low-cost, simple seismic retrofitting methods for existing buildings.
Miki Muraki, Professor
0 student voices
The lab studies better ways of building cities, focusing on urban planning, central urban areas, and urban development. To pass the strengths of today's cities on to the next generation, it considers what challenges cities and towns face. Its research keywords include urban planning master plans, low-carbon urban development, and area management. The lab values the attitude of studying every day, so that each member can take part in urban development as a specialist.
