Our laboratory conducts interdisciplinary research across a wide range of fields, including the following:

Environmental Analysis
We conduct simulations of architectural environmental factors such as light, wind, heat, and sound using tools including FlowDesigner, Ladybug/Honeybee, and Climate Studio. We also place importance on validating simulation results through on-site measurements.

Applications of VR/MR and Image Processing Technologies
In addition to analyzing lighting environments, color impressions, and visual guidance, we investigate the description and evaluation of spatial experiences using eye tracking and HoloLens. Research also includes topics such as developing a sense of scale through MR and analyzing behavior in VR environments.

Building Production, Construction Methods, and Digital Design Support
We cover a broad range of topics related to the digitalization of building production, including BIM, DfMA, PPVC, and MMC. Our research examines building materials, architectural components, and construction processes through surveys and comparative studies, as well as domestic and international case studies, library research, and analyses of historical developments.

Landscape and Urban Environment
We study elements that shape the quality of cities and regional spaces, including façades, sky color, wind environments, visual guidance, and the effects of green spaces. Our approach combines qualitative evaluation with quantitative analysis.

Architectural Theory, Systems, and Management
Our research addresses the social and institutional frameworks surrounding architecture, including architects’ design intentions, the realities of proposal-based design processes, the management and operation of public spaces, the preservation of modern architecture, the reuse of traditional materials, and designated management systems. These topics are examined through descriptive and logical analysis.

Other Areas — Open-Ended Exploration
Research also extends to furniture design, sound evaluation, visual perception, smell, touch, and other topics concerning the relationship between human senses and architectural space. The subject itself is only a starting point; what matters is how it is transformed into a meaningful research question and systematically investigated and verified.

Undergraduate Program (3rd–4th Year Students)
Students are encouraged to explore both research-oriented approaches, such as thesis-based study, and design-oriented approaches through studio work. During seminars from the second half of the third year to the first half of the fourth year, students discuss and determine whether to pursue Special Research II or Special Design II. Weekly seminars provide opportunities to develop skills in investigation, critical thinking, document preparation, and presentation.

Graduate Program (Master’s Course)
Master’s students may choose either the Research Course or the Studio Course. In both tracks, students deepen their understanding of architecture from both research and design perspectives through opportunities such as presentations at academic conferences and symposia, international design workshops, and digital design exercises.
