KUMAGAI Laboratory
Field of research: Building construction and planning
Field of specialization: Rehabilitation, Building construction history, Residents control of habitation, self-build construction
We are conducting researches from the viewpoints of typology of construction technology, historical transition and transformation of built environment. Our recent studies are 1) Experimental study of self-built construction focused on Catalan vault and a wooden post-and-beam frame for DIY, 2) Analysis of methodology and technology of restoration works of modern architecture, 3) Construction characteristics of transitional period especially from masonry brick construction to reinforced concrete, and industrialization of construction in the 1960s, 3)Temporal and permanent capacity of dismantling-possible wooden post-and-beam construction, 4) Residents control of habitation on housing process, and 5) Typological study on the renovation in the dense residential areas of wooden houses.
