Architectural Planning and Design Laboratory
The building design and the relationship between humans and architecture
In order to improve the design of buildings, during the architectural planning stage, it is important to have a better understanding of how the building will be "used". In our laboratory, we investigate the actual usage of public structures, such as medical, welfare and educational facilities, which are mainly used by an unspecified number of people, and consider architectural planning from the occupant's point of view.
STUDY FIELDS
- Architecture
- Facility Planning
- Sociology
FOR SOCIETY
The results of our research on how building, such as medical and welfare facilities and schools are used by the general public, will be employed to design future facilities that are easier to use.
