Research summary
Expansion of architectural history against the background of modern western architectural history After studying the design philosophy of Italian engineer and architect Pier Luigi Nervi, I learned an analytical method focusing on structural forms. From the perspective of "structural form" and "structural design," we are trying to expand into the history of architecture by visually grasping the design philosophy of architecture and the architects who designed them. We are also exploring application methods for design. The following four researches are currently underway. (1)Study on the connection between building technical history and architectural history from a tectonic perspective This research re-evaluates the plan of the Roman World's Fair (EUR'42), which was scheduled to be held in 1942, from the viewpoint of tectonic (construction) including structure and construction method, and introduces a new history of architecture. It is something to draw. By examining EUR'42, which had been regarded as a negative heritage, from the perspective of construction, it became clear that the exposition was a quest for a style unique to Italy and a succession of construction techniques of the ancient Roman era. To. In this way, this approach of this research, which integrates the history of construction technology and the history of architecture, creates a bridge between history-design-construction and a new method of architectural history research that incorporates construction methods and technologies. (2) Pier Luigi Nervi’s structural planning and his thought of Arte 　　This study focuses on the structural planning and architectural ideas of Pier Luigi Nervi (1891-1979), an Italian engineer architect who contributed to the development of reinforced concrete technology, and the construction activities until the end of World War II. It clarifies the core of the design concept while tracing the achievements of. Until now, Nervi has been evaluated as a structural rationalist engineer, but his work and the process of maturation of design ideas have rarely been discussed. In this paper, we focus on the discourse related to Nervi's "Arte" and clarify the process of development of structural design and deepening of planning ideas through the construction experience of Nervi in the early development period of reinforced concrete construction technology. (3)Study about design Philosophy on landscape of Isamu Noguchi 　　Isamu Noguchi's green space plan is not limited to just green spaces, but extends to the scope of designing urban perspectives and landscapes that deal with nature. This study analyzes various factors related to planting planning, such as the size and number of trees and the distance between trees, and attempts to reach a part of his landscape design philosophy. (4)Study about utilization and seismic evaluation of vacant houses From the viewpoint of solving local problems, we are conducting an actual measurement survey of vacant houses, and for their utilization, we are conducting seismic diagnosis using vibration simulation software with seismic retrofitting in mind. Structural calculations and diagnoses are strongly recognized by experts and are difficult for the general public to understand. However, we are working on quantitative analysis and consideration by visualizing such as showing the position of structurally weak parts with simulation software.
