Women used the dining room primarily for work (n=221, 44.2%). When children were at home during telecommuting, the unclear boundaries between work and home were not a deficiency but an undeniable acceptance, and the tendency to work in a corner overlooking a common area was observed. When both spouses telecommute without children, men work in their bedrooms or private rooms, while women work in common areas such as the dining room. At the same time, women tended to seek a space dedicated to their work and to keep their workspace separate from the common area.

This study attempted to classify support facilities for persons with disabilities according to the characteristics of their residents and to identify effective architectural measures according to these classifications, based on a questionnaire survey of these facilities nationwide. As a result, it was found that support facilities for persons with disabilities are classified into four groups according to the type and degree of the main disability, that the residents’ disability-related behaviors and the burden of care felt by staff differ significantly among the groups, and that some architectural measures are effective for some groups.

As an initial step towards creating a quantitative notation for visual changes in order to assess streetscape of the preservation districts for groups of traditional buildings, we studied video images of four streets and analyzed the appearance of occluding edges at different scales. Based on this study, we could clarify the criteria for treating occluding edges according to their position and scale, and narrow down the measurement conditions for obtaining the data necessary for notation.

We converted legal documents into a linked data structure constraint model and applied it to GIS parcel data to simulate the buildable volumes and trace back to the originating legal enacting terms. Our case study analyzes the fundamental legal documents in the Japanese urban planning system. Our findings reveal a contradiction in checking the road height restriction parcel-by-parcel which induces parcel amalgamation. We identified the legal articles originating this and developed the Block-Check indices to identify urban areas with stronger incentive to amalgamate. We propose Block-Check, a block-integrated method of urban regulation application, to mitigate the incentive to amalgamate.

In Japan, 8,580 public schools were closed from 2002 to 2021 due to social influences. The major issue is the lack of concrete solutions for the increasing number of closed schools. The purpose of this study is to clarify the location factors that influence the decision to utilize closed school buildings, which have been utilized for various purposes in the past, and to construct a prediction model for utilization methods by using statistical analysis. The results showed that by inputting the location characteristics into the model equation, it is possible to infer the actual situation-based utilization method to some extent.

The site utilization plan for the Expo’70 was considered after the event closed, while the Expo’75 was already under consideration at the time of planning. In addition, both the site utilization plan for the Expo’70 and the venue plan for the Expo’75 were prepared by a team led by Eika Takayama, and it is predicted that the Expo’75 was conducted in reflection of the Expo’70. Therefore, this study analyzed the relationship between the two expositions from the perspective of venue utilization, and clarify the four aspects of utilization of facilities, venue configuration and concept succession, management, and regional development.

The aim of this study is to identify the role of art management by local government in art activities using public spaces. Some results show as follows:

1) The art manager is required to build an organization that has a clear attitude toward support while considering the artist’s motives.

2) It is necessary to respond to the artist’s improvisational production while maintaining the perspective of the effect of art on public spaces.

3) Based on the artist’s awareness of “outside the world of art”, it is important to support the appreciation of works by citizens in public spaces.

This paper aims to clarify fluctuating characteristics of the services market supply and demand equilibrium of day service facilities for elderly during 20 years. Capacity sufficiency rate is calculated based on the actual number of certificated care-need person and estimated number of service user in three prefectures of the north Kanto region. Facility supplies peaked in 2014, after which supply declined. Service utilization gradually increased in 20 years. The service markets in Ibaraki and Tochigi prefectures are almost in equilibrium, but Gunma prefecture has changed to the imbalanced condition since 2013.

Sangoro Iwanaga mastered the dry masonry technique from Satsuma masonry, and built the wall stones of the Gosekkyo bridges. Sangoro Iwanaga built Gosekkyo bridges by changing Bizen style of packing chestnut stones inside the wall stones to a method of packing huge stones densely inside the wall stones. Sangoro Iwanaga built the Gosekkyo bridges using a method of packing huge stones inside the wall stones, which eliminated mechanical effect of the fan masonry method brought from Higo. The fan masonry technique developed in Higo and the Makidomo stone wall technique learned from Bizen stonemasons were utilized in the reaction stones.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the spatial structures of the Niida-okura-syo that the Syonai Domain constructed in the Sakata Port which is the Mogami River estuary in the late Edo period. The operation policies of the Niida-okura-syo were the same as the operation policies of the Gozyomai-okurasyo which owned by the shogunate; however, the Niida-okura-syo had characteristics such as the small blocking of a building arrangement, the diversification of Okura’s types, and the changes in spatial structures. It was guessed that the cause was cooperation between Kumi and Kumi which is a union of villages.

The convent of Sainte-Enfance in Saigon was built by Nguyễn Trường Tộ, a Vietnamese scholar, with the help of French missionaries and nuns, in1864 under the French colony. This paper examines the convent at the time of its construction from photographs, illusts, and historical documents to clarify its architectural features.

As a result, the convent was built mainly of wood, with the chapel building joined to the U-shaped main building. And this building is estimated to be an eclectic style with ornamentation of Vietnamese, French colonial, and Palladian elements.

Architect Lina Bo Bardi focused on public architecture, while other women architects in the 20th century usually worked in the residential and interior fields. Comparing her lives and activities with those of Lilly Reich, Eileen Gray, and Charlotte Perriand, Bo Bardi’s career has three characteristics. First, her affiliation with various networks including theatrical groups, which was influenced by her shifting bases. Second, her activities in magazines, which allowed her not to be passive in architectural discussions. Third, the gradual re-evaluation of crafts in her age, which were once neglected due to the appreciation of architectural works by male stars.

This study aims to consider the waterfront accessibility and its composition using the view from the site and human circulation, targeting private site along the canals in Shibaura-Konan and Tennoz area, and clarifies the relationship with the application procedure. Initially, the access from the hinterland to the site and its opened range were examined. The placement of buildings and facilities that define accessibility both inside and outside the site was examined. Finally, by superimposing two accessibility, view and circulation, ten composition types were obtained and the relationship with application procedures based on interviews to related authorities was characterized.
