01 Description of Research

The major field of my research is architectural history and theory. Recent research topics are (1) Tectonics and architectural history, (2) Architecture in time and history of architectural re-use, (3) Materiality of Architecture, and so on. We are in the midst of major social changes. The modern era of overwhelming growth is coming to an end. The population has also begun to decline. The main objective of my research is to study how the roles of architecture and cities will change in this era from a historical perspective.
