Koshiro Nishimura, Professor
0 student voices
Nishimura Lab studies how to make buildings more earthquake-resistant, focusing mainly on reinforced concrete structures. Its methods include structural experiments, analysis using the finite element method (FEM), and structural health monitoring. The lab aims for structures that meet increasingly diverse demands, such as not only protecting lives in an earthquake but also allowing a building to remain in use afterward. It proposes new structural systems and highly accurate methods for evaluating structural performance.
Naoko Saio, Professor
0 student voices
The Saio Lab works on architectural planning, community facility planning, and urban and rural planning. Its themes include elementary schools and local communities, university campuses and urban regeneration, and urban areas and farming, mountain, and fishing village areas. The lab follows how these pairs push against each other, or cooperate and collaborate to create synergy. Rather than thinking only at a desk, the lab carries out its research based on fieldwork at the sites themselves.
Hisato Hotta, Professor
0 student voices
The Hotta Lab's theme is to investigate the true nature of concrete structures through precise scaled-model experiments. Within architectural structural engineering, the lab works on concrete-based composite structures and seismic structures. It carries out precise experiments on models that are scaled-down versions of real structures, and verifies how the frames of concrete buildings behave.
Yasuhito Fujita, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Fujita Lab is an architectural history lab established in 2015. It examines the meaning and formation of historic buildings and urban environments. The professor specializes in medieval church architecture of the Caucasus region, centered on Armenia and Georgia. Using this as a base, the lab has broadened its research to the architectural and urban history of modern Japan and Asia, and to the preservation and reuse of historic townscapes. Students are expected to think of their research themes on their own initiative and find them themselves, and the lab turns away no theme as long as it falls within the framework of architectural and urban history.
Kazuhiro Yuasa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Yuasa Lab studies how building services should be designed to create the environments of buildings and cities. It looks at the energy consumed when buildings are in use and considers ways to conserve it. Its research also covers how people feel about and behave toward their environment and building services. Its specialty is building environmental engineering, with building services and energy conservation as key research themes.
Masato Dohi, Professor
0 student voices
The Dohi Lab studies the design of communities and landscapes. Using urban gardens and open spaces as clues, it examines how people relate to their environment. It uses analytical methods such as GIS and statistics together with design methods such as workshops, CG, and full-scale models, depending on the situation. The lab aims to be a place where each person finds something worth doing through dialogue with themselves, other members, and society.
Shuji Tamura, Professor
0 student voices
The Tamura Lab studies the ground that supports buildings and their foundation structures. Aiming at new building foundation structures that are rational and sustainable, it investigates pile foundations, shallow foundations, soil-structure interaction, earth pressure, and more. Combining centrifuge model tests and numerical analysis, it works out the behavior of complex ground and foundations. It is one of the few labs in architecture departments in Japan that specializes in geotechnical and foundation engineering.
Yoshiharu Tsukamoto, Professor
0 student voices
Tsukamoto Lab conducts research and design practice in architectural design aesthetics. The lab explores better mutual relationships between architectural composition, the behavior of people and nature, and social frameworks such as institutions. The lab also works on projects such as satoyama restoration and tiny house construction under the "Small Earth Project."
Toshihiro Osaragi, Professor
0 student voices
Osaragi Lab studies the relationship between architectural and urban spaces and the behavior of the people in them. The lab seeks to clarify the regularities between the various environmental elements of a space and people's evaluations and behavioral characteristics. By systematizing these regularities, the lab aims to build planning theories for architecture and urban planning. The lab works on a wide range of themes, including architectural planning, urban analytics, regional disaster prevention planning, and spatial information science.
Takashi Asawa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Asawa Lab studies thermal environments broadly, from individual buildings to entire cities. The lab visualizes environmental phenomena in our surroundings using remote sensing and simulation techniques. Aiming for comfortable, healthy, and energy-efficient buildings and cities, the lab contributes to environmentally conscious design. The lab also studies the effects of greenery and passive design, using diverse methods from field measurement to numerical simulation.
