About " Architectural Design Engineering "

 Due to the progress of global warming and frequent natural disasters, the building environment is being sought after.

 Now that the demand for environmentally friendly "Sustainable Architectures" is increasing

1. "Analytical research based not only on the climate of Europe, which is considered to be the mainstream, but also on the climate of East Asia, which accounts for the majority of the global population.

2. Research on design methods that solve modern problems through programming and simulation

3. Research on traditional local technologies and materials (analog technology) using digital technology

And they contribute to society.

About the Research Theme of This Laboratory

Research on design methods for architectural and urban design using digital technology

 Research on new designs using simulation and programming.

 Architectural and urban design linked with big data using various types of simulations such as environment and structure.

 Furthermore, in combination with programming such as Grasshopper, we will study methods to solve modern problems by design, such as shape optimization, processing of multiple parameters, and prototyping.

Research on the development of new building materials and construction methods using digital technology and analog technology

 Applying digital technology design to traditional local techniques and materials, we will study the development of new architectural materials.

​◯Research on environmental analysis of Asian architecture and cities

 We will analyze and research architecture and cities in hot and humid Asian cities from the environmental aspect.

 Currently, the world's mainstream environmental architecture and cities are cold region models that are mainly airtight and highly insulated, but in the Asian region where nearly half of the earth's population is concentrated, a different hot and humid region model is available. You will need it. We will do this under-researched field by analyzing Asian architecture and cities.
