Basic information

Our long-term research goal is to build a design framework for the future. Since modern times began, social structures have changed dramatically,　and　 the development of the computer has significantly changed the methods of architectural design. However, the laws of physics that govern buildings have not changed in any way since the Expectations are mounting toward computer-based problem-solving methods such as optimization　or　machine learning as the means to build　and　maintain a sustainable society in the future. In designing buildings, it is necessary to integrate different areas such as design, environment　and　structure to build sound　and　safe buildings with the most effective resource consumption　and　cost-effectivity. What is essential to do so is evidence-based design methods using numerical analysis　and　simulation. We focus on Building Structure Mechanics　and　incorporate new theories　and　technologies in a cross-disciplinary way so that we will be able to create new value　and　propose its wide　and　comprehensive adoption across society.
