| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
This course will discuss the following necessary components of urban and architectural structural design: • Means of developing practical design solutions under difficult conditions or with complex design requirements • Practical challenges and solution methods of structural design • Ways of addressing extreme situations and meeting new challenges |
|||
| Course Goals | The purpose of this course is to teach students the knowledge they need for actual architectural structural design, based on various basic theories of architectural structure (mechanics, vibrational theory, probability theory, materials science, various structures). | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
Structures and structural capabilities (3 classes) We will discuss the structural capabilities of structures and ways of thinking about their evaluation. • History of earthquake damage and earthquake-proofing standards, domestic-international comparison of earthquake-proofing standards, minimum levels and unexpected loads, tsunami • Life cycle design, risk evaluation and risk management, insurance • Capability design, capability display, capability control, damage control, monitoring, structural and non-structural capabilities, etc. Orientation of structural design (6 classes) We will discuss structural methods, construction methods, and building methods, based on case studies. Differences in structures depending on structural materials (concrete, iron, wood, glass, paper, plastic, soil, etc.), innovative structural materials Seismic isolation Vibration control Challenges related to breadth and length Challenges related to height New forms Creating beautiful forms Frameworks of living things, structures of manmade objects such as rockets, aircraft, and cars Regional and cultural revitalization design (2 classes) Preservation and revitalization of cultural properties, traditional wooden construction, historical structures Regional and structural design for restoration before and after earthquakes (post-disaster housing, temporary housing, tsunami shelter buildings, high functionalization and structural capabilities of cities, etc.) Studying structural design case studies (3 classes) Two classes by outside lecturers, one field trip (tentative) Design theme presentation (1 class) Based on assigned themes, students conduct presentations, then these are discussed and critiqued |
