A lab that investigates the safety of steel-framed buildings in fires through experiments and analysis.

The lab of Professor Fuminobu Ozaki studies how steel-framed buildings fail in a fire, with the aim of developing fire-resistant design techniques. Its research keywords are structural fire resistance, structural engineering, steel structures, fire engineering, and reliability engineering. The lab conducts experiments in which steel materials and connections are heated and loaded, as well as numerical analysis. Whether a building can be quickly restored and reused after a fire is also a subject of its research.

A lab that reads the history of modern architecture, housing, and the formation of cities.

Assistant Professor Xiang studies the history of modern architecture and modern housing, as well as urban history and the formation of cities. The main subject is the relationship between modernization under colonial rule and architecture and cities in East Asia in the first half of the 20th century. Focusing on Dalian in northeastern China, the lab investigates suburban residential areas, housing reform, mixed-use buildings that include apartments, and the activities of architects. The lab also conducts field surveys in former suburban residential areas of Dalian.

A lab that uses mechanics and digital technology to design resource-efficient, safe building structures.

Kimura Lab studies structural design methods that use mechanics, optimization, and digital technology to realize resource-efficient, safe buildings. The lab works on methods for generating the forms of long-span structures and on analyzing their structural performance. Its research themes also include developing structural members and systems using structural optimization and digital technology, and reverse engineering of modern architecture. The lab welcomes motivated students who are interested in structures, construction methods, and information processing technology.
