At Waseda, it started with the acoustic design for the Okuma Auditorium, which has incorporated into its design air conditioning, the fundamental theory of architectural facilities, the urban environment, and the like. Issues that this discipline handles today are diverse ranging from controlling the thermal environment to make it suitable and healthy and building energy infrastructure based on environmental regulation to securing the safety of buildings and cities that are ever-expanding, to preventing vicious cycles that lead to desolate cities and unhealthy global environments due to the energy- and construction-resources consumption practices followed, to developing habitats. Research in this field aims to establish architectural and urban planning theory based on measurement and prediction targeting of environmental phenomena (thermal environment of the architecture and the city, fires and floods, human behavior), surveys on actual conditions of cities and architecture, and development of sophisticated architectural facility systems. It is also aimed at improving energy conservation, reusable resources and energy utilization systems, and low carbon technologies, as well as disaster prevention technologies. This kind of research paves the way for discovering the new potential of architecture or the software aspects of it, such as consensus building technologies, as well as its environmental aspects.◆ Structural Mechanics (architectural engineering field)Structural mechanics is a technology associated with issues for achieving safe and comfortable architecture from a variety of perspectives. Structural mechanics in architecture has diversified in recent years as an academic field. Research topics have close relations with the field of civil engineering and mechanical engineering, or even with the field of electrical engineering. To deal with the diversity, research guidance ranges from earthquake engineering, high-performance structural material, earthquake resistant design, vibration engineering, elastoplastic mechanics, shell structures, soil and foundation engineering to structural reliability, structural control, aseismic controlled structure, and seismic isolation.◆ Building production (architectural engineering field)Building production involves education and research on building material science, building construction methods, and building construction management. Furthermore, efforts are also on to pursue ideal building production through investigation and research into these respective fields as well as to develop new technologies. Research in building material science is performed to understand the properties of materials, their applications, and the required caution when dealing with materials at the stage of design, construction, operation, and maintenance.
