(Hiroshima) - In the Formative Space Laboratory, we continue our efforts to search out and discover the relationships between people and space, space and expression. In recent days, the real desire of these students to express their ideas on this theme has impressed itself upon me deeply. Many of them have been active not only in the Laboratory, but also outside the university, including overseas work and study.

(Aichi) -(1998) The research aim of this laboratory is to establish the effective utilization of bio-materials such as timber using physical and engineering methods. The research is developed mainly in the fields of timber engineering which covers the following three research areas: 1) Utilization system and evaluation for biomaterials as an echo-material: The study on application of fracture mechanics to biomaterials is performed to investigate the mechanism of deformation in such materials as a honeycomb structure, by using a fractography and AE method for example. In this area, acoustoelasticity of wood and biomaterials is also investigated to apply the phenomenon for the determination of stress conditions of these materials. 2) Structural performance and design methods for timber structures: The studies on development of a rigid frame construction and establishment of the limit state design method for timber structures are currently in progress. 3) Evaluation of the space environment surrounded by a biomaterial: Japanese traditional timber constructions are structurally analized and investigated with special concern with their historical and climatic backgrounds.
