Keiichi Imamoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Imamoto Lab studies the preservation of pioneering-era buildings and the architecture of the future from the perspective of building materials. The lab also works on preserving World Heritage-related buildings, such as the structures on Gunkanjima (Hashima Island) and the structural frame of the main building of the National Museum of Western Art. Developing new materials is also a research theme, including building materials that use phase change materials and cement-free concrete. Through the prediction of deterioration in exterior finishing materials and non-destructive techniques for estimating deterioration in reinforced concrete, the lab studies maintenance methods that make buildings last longer.
Takumi Ito, Professor
0 student voices
The Ito (Takumi) Lab studies the structural performance and design methods of steel structures, including buildings made of steel frames. The lab investigates how steel structures behave under random disturbances by combining mathematical theory, numerical analysis, and various structural experiments. It also develops structural systems for regenerating structures, using hybrid structures that make the most of the properties of each material. The list of research themes also includes composite structures combining steel, earth, and timber, the use of IoT in building structures, and repair techniques using digital fabrication.
Masaki Kato, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kato Lab studies the fire resistance of building structures. Its listed research topics include research on elucidating the explosive spalling of high-strength concrete in fires. Associate Professor Masaki Kato has worked on the fire resistance of building structures since 2010 and joined the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering in April 2023.
Makoto Yamakawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamakawa Lab treats the safety, economy, usability, aesthetics, and other qualities of buildings as various kinds of performance, and studies the relationship between these performances and design using a mathematical method called structural optimization. It explores which structures are advantageous and what universal properties they have. The research mathematically analyzes architectural design.
Naoya Kawabe, Professor
0 student voices
The Kawabe Lab studies the organization of given conditions and logical processes in architectural design and design in general. Its listed research topics include architectural design and its process, collaboration between architecture and specialists in other fields, and architecture connected to society and the environment based on field research. Its research background includes studies of the construction details of contemporary houses and of architecture that incorporates the fine-grained peculiarities of the surrounding environment.
Shingo Saito, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Design Lecturer Lab conducts research on architectural materials of modern and contemporary architecture, as well as research on theories of architectural space and their practice. It continues research based on archival materials of modern and contemporary architecture. In its research on the architect Kiyonori Kikutake, it focuses on the origins of Metabolism and the thinking in his early works.
Sihwan Lee, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Lee Lab is a research group exploring building science, including thermal, air, light, acoustic, and water environments, building services, field measurements, and numerical analysis. The lab aims to develop design technologies that accurately predict and evaluate the invisible physical phenomena occurring inside and outside buildings, so as to ensure occupants' safety and comfortable living. It tackles a wide range of issues, including evaluating ventilation efficiency, predicting the behavior of indoor pollutants, analyzing thermal comfort, energy-saving buildings, disaster prevention, and infection control. The lab is always looking for people with diverse backgrounds, such as architectural engineering, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science.
Madoka Kayanoki, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kayanoki Lab studies the history of modern architecture and urban history. It investigates architecture built during the reconstruction after the Great Kanto Earthquake, and the fireproofing of cities. The urban planning and architecture carried out in prewar Taiwan are also objects of study. The lab has also conducted research on the transformation of Tokyo and on the preservation of historic environments.
Ryohei Kumagai, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kumagai Lab conducts research aimed at a “typology” of architecture and technology, centered on building construction methods, the history of construction methods, renovation technology, and flexibility in collective housing. Using cases of modern architecture and renovation, it examines how technology has changed from the modern era to the present. The lab also carries out construction-method surveys for the preservation and reuse of the former Mizumoto Elementary School, and DIY-based making aimed at easy assembly and disassembly. In addition, students pursue their own themes.
Momoyo Gota, Professor
0 student voices
The Gota Lab studies survey and analysis of urban housing around the world, and mathematical analysis of the spatial form of architecture and cities, in the fields of urban planning and architectural planning. Prof. Gota's research history also lists research on the form of urban space, planning and design of university campuses, and research on healthy communities. Prof. Gota is a faculty member in the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, Tokyo University of Science.
