Project Design Laboratory
Reconsidering the issues of cities and regions from the perspective of architecture and wood.
In our research lab, we explore solutions to various societal issues related to cities, regions, and disaster recovery, by designing projects that include architecture, based on a broad range of architectural knowledge. In the construction of a decarbonized society, we consider new ways of structuring society, based on the history and current analysis of cutting-edge medium-to-large scale wooden architecture, forest environments, wood as a building material, wood as an energy source, and industries related to wood.
This lab is for this SDG activity:
STUDY FIELDS
- Architectural designs
- Project designs
FOR SOCIETY
We hope to empower individuals to immerse themselves in local communities, see things with their own eyes, identify problems, propose hypotheses, and verify them. This is the kind of ability we wish to cultivate.
RESEARCH THEMES
- Research on architectural projects to reinvigorate local regions
- Research on architectural projects related to the reconstruction of regions hit by disasters
- Mass-timber architecrture
