Laboratory/research office Architectural Design Laboratory
Architecture is a precious object that has a long time span in society and can create landscapes that remain in people's memories.
In our laboratory, we are building theories by feeding back findings from architectural design practice to our research, and considering sustainable landscapes for the next era that are rooted in the local environment.
We also study the integration of new wood structural technologies, such as CLT, with architectural design, and design methods for off-grid architecture.
