Education Program

The purpose of this course is to learn recent technologies for rationalization of building construction. The content of this course includes production of precast concrete members, mechanization in construction works, and quality control in construction works with precast concrete members. The state-of-the-art information on building construction method with precast concrete members and half-precast concrete members are provided.

(13) Recent Topics

In the engineering design, sometimes decision has to be made based on insufficient information. Especially designs for building structures cannot be handled deterministically because natural phenomena such as earthquakes or typhoons will be concerned and uncertain factors will remain. The concept of probability should be introduced to analyze the uncertainty quantitatively and to evaluate risks properly. Recent promising papers about modeling of uncertain phenomena and evaluation of reliability on systems will be selected and read.

Repeat these things:
Reading recent papers together.
Study on a theoretical background and present it.

After Advanced Lecture on Building System studying mainly new systems of building construction and Advanced Lecture on Planning of Building System studying mainly new technique and concept of it, we study practically design technique for totalizing as a building construction, especially detail design through this subject.

(1) Introduction
(2) Dealing with manufacturing tolerance
(3) Dealing with construction tolerance
(4) Exercise 1 for detail design
(5) Dealing with thermal movement
(6) Dealing with moisture movement
(7) Dealing with load deformation
(8) Exercise 2 for detail design
(9) Control between production and construction
(10) Control of various performance items
(11) Control between new and old parts
(12) Totalized exercise for detail design
(13) All-inclusive discussion for detail design

Architectural history was formed in the 19th century. During the 20th century,　study results were accumulated, and those topics of research were subdivided and diversified in the 21st century. In this lecture, the method of the architectural history research that centers on the European architecture is discussed. Concretely, the main current study results of Western architecture from the ancient to the modern times are taken up, and the feature and the meaning of the methodology are discussed. Moreover, considering a special standpoint of Western architectural history research in Japan, we study how to correct and to treat the reference materials. The method of translation will be also referred as much as possible.

(1) Review of architectual history research in the West
(2) Review of research on western architecture in Japan
(3) Research on Greek and Roman architecture
(4) Research on Romanesque and Gothic architecture
(5) Research on Renaissance and Barock architecture
(6) Research on architecture of the 19th century. Part 1
(7) Research on architecture of the 19th century. Part 2
(8) Research on architecture of the 20th century. Part 1
(9) Research on architecture of the 20th century. Part 2
(10) Research on contemporary architecture
(11) Method of translation. Part 1
(12) Method of translation. Part 2
(13) Recent topics

Through searching and reading text by an architect and analysing phisical forms of his/her works, we would like to understand the relations between thinking and building. Students lead discussion sessions. This course acts as a foundation for scholarly research on Theory of Architectural Design.

(1) Discover or rediscover your favorite architect
(2)-(4) Search his/her discourses
(5)-(8) Analyse morphologically his/her works
(9)-(11) Understand his/her discourses and works
(12)(13) Go on to your own design

In this subject, in order to analyze and understand new architectural and urban space, we review some methods of analyzing and understanding architectural and urban space and reanalyze ond understand them.

(1)-(4) Urban Space Analysis
(5)-(9) Analysis using Computational Geometry
(10)-(13) Morphological Analysis of Vernacular Architecture
(14)-(15) Review
