Our goal is to achieve sustainable urban development where the natural environment and human society coexist harmoniously. To accomplish this, we aim to gain insights into the relationship between humans, the environment, and nature, unravel the mechanisms of urban spaces and environments, and explore planning and design methodologies. By doing so, we strive to foster a sustainable urban environment that supports the coexistence of nature and human society.
The Environmental Design and Information Technology Laboratory conducts research to reconstruct environments where humans, artifacts, and nature coexist from an informatics perspective, with an eye toward realizing Society 5.0. We conceptualize environmental design as a process of “perception, evaluation, generation, and integration.” Utilizing 3D measurement, digital twins, AI/machine learning, and XR (AR/MR/VR), we explore methods to understand, evaluate, and design architecture, cities, civil engineering, and natural environments based on data. Grounded in environmental engineering and collaborating with architecture, urban planning, and civil engineering fields, we contribute to creating sustainable, safe, and comfortable environments.
