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.
Yosuke Mano, Professor
0 student voices
The Mano Lab studies urban planning and the practice of community development. Its main themes are urban and regional regeneration and earthquake reconstruction planning. It also addresses housing problems and residential area planning, which are issues of how people can keep living in a place.
Masashi Matsuoka, Professor
0 student voices
The Matsuoka Lab studies how to assess damage from wide-area disasters such as massive earthquakes and tsunamis, and how to evaluate urban environments. Using geoinformatics, such as GIS and remote sensing, it captures damage to urban structures such as buildings and to lifelines. It also applies machine learning on big data, and provides practical education that builds the ability to handle disaster information. The lab flexibly incorporates knowledge from a wide range of fields, including measurement technology, image processing, and information technology, and applies it to disaster prevention and urban environment evaluation.
Daiki Sato, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Daiki Sato Lab specializes in structural engineering for buildings. It deals with super high-rise buildings, vibration-control and seismic-isolation structures, and wind-resistant design. It works on seismic safety evaluation and vibration-control retrofitting of super high-rise buildings against long-period ground motion. It also investigates how buildings actually move, using records observed in real buildings.
Naoki Kagi, Professor
0 student voices
The Kagi Lab studies the indoor air environment in buildings. Targeting pollutants suspended in the air, the lab assesses current conditions by measuring what cannot be seen. It investigates the sources of pollutants and how they behave within a space, then proposes measures that can be implemented through building design. Improving the indoor air environment is important for occupants to live safely, healthily, and comfortably.
