Japanese Architecture and Structural Design
About this course
In this revised course, fundamental and modern approaches to Japanese structural design will be explained using historical overviews and Tokyo-Tech’s campus buildings as case studies. Learners will be able to interpret and apply seismic design concepts like energy-dissipating braced frames, spine frames, seismic retrofit, seismic isolation and seismic design of spatial structures. Drawing from the instructor’s past 20 years of experience in design, considerations to sustainability, practical complexities and their solutions will be presented using the campus buildings as design examples with immersive 360-degree interactive videos. Learners will also get an insight into the architect-engineer collaboration through interviews with architectural professors.
