This resarch aims to reveal the depth perception on strereopsis pictures by using pictorial and binocular cue. Till now, the depth on two-dimensional image is commonly expressed based on pictorial cue, however human beings actually recognize space by means of combining pictorial cue with binocular cue. Thus, by using binocular cue effectively, we can recognize the depth of space more precisely and also could obtain a variety of ways to express space. In this reasarch, we will make a perceptual experiment with strereopsis pictures to understand the effect on depth perception from pictorial and binocular cue and analize the relationship between both ques and the depth perception.

Atsuta Basho, one of the 85 fisheries in Ezochi (Hokkaido) in Edo Era, represents a specific settlement formation process while its location was deliberately chosen in order to facilitate Unjoya, trading house equipped with accommodation for fishermen. This research based on the analysis of old documents and drawings executed by Kaitakushi (Hokkaido Development Government at the beginning of Meiji Period) leads to the clarification of unique land use system in Atsuta where indigenous ainu and Japanese immigrants shared living quarters along a river in Kotanbet. The reconstruction of the trading quarter in Oshorkot proves the juxtaposition of separated facilities such as Unjoya, administrator's houses and warehouses on an elevated terrace along the seashore. Comparatively wider ainu land property was maintained until the beginning of Meiji Period despite the diminution of its population. The expropriation of Unjoya by the Kaitakushi government suspended the private initiative of local governance by the contractor, Hamaya, who consequently developed Kotanbet area by implementing wider private fishery facilities there, and radically transformed the land use and townscape of Kotanbet- Oshortot complex.

This paper studies sun shadow impact caused by tall and medium height building using simulation methods and clarifies planning problems. As results of simulation analysis it is found that the existing control method on sun shadow does not reflect the height of building and actual shadow area of adjacent lots. Then it is difficult for the existing control method to control sun shadow impacts caused by a certain height buildings. On the other hand, the real sun shadow area increase proportionally according to the building height and it could control sun shadow impact on the adjacent lot appropriately.

In this paper, the authors describe a method of pre-cut components in finishing the interior works using 3D laser scanner.
To implement the pre-cut is required for the following three methods. Firstly, the authors develop the benchmark system for matching three coordinate system ― existing building, point clouds and 3D CAD. Secondly, the authors develop the method of automatically seeking the couple of the targets for transforming the coordinates. Thirdly, the authors develop the design method by polygon model.
The authors scanned the reinforced concrete building and then applied those methods using 3D laser scanner.

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the problems in circulation planning of community center that related to the weekly using time of activity spaces. Analysis the relationships between spatial arrangements and utilization of activity spaces, the conclusive results as:
1. The space area and the length of weekly using time are not related to positive correlation.
2. The users' route “from entrance to activity spaces” is strongly relevant to the weekly using time of activity space. The effects of the routes from activity spaces to “utilizing type service spaces” (esp. toilet space) are comparatively inconspicuous.
3. The spatial arrangements of “Type C-I” and “Type A-I” could be considered as properly circulation planning and design. There has no necessary to pass through other activity spaces in “routes of entrance to activity spaces” and “routes of activity spaces to utilizing type service spaces”. And the utilization of these activity spaces has been proved better than other types.

This paper is intended an investigation of the town house without girders in the ‘Rakuchu Rakugai-zu’ Screen of Rekihaku “A” version. Although the construction method without girders was made possible by using dug-standing pillars or erecting a pillar on a foundation, there was no example in pictures historical records of ancient times to medieval times. Moreover, the method of construction is not used in the present construction. Therefore, the existence has been regarded as questionable. However, the roof truss of the Suda's residence in Muko-shi, Kyoto is similar with the construction method without girders. This example shows that the construction method without girders could be built. It seems reasonable to suppose that the construction method without girders was made by the intention to the simple building of the Age of Civil Wars.
