The following were clarified by analyzing concrete communication of design process in detail; A kind of gap between “requirements specified by the customer” and “requirements not stated by the customer but necessary for specified or intended use where known” makes oversight some important requirements because both the medical staff and the architect as specialists have excessive assumption each other. To improve design process as collaborative practice, it is necessary to disclose activities on “Quality management systems” and enhance accountability to the client.

    In Japan, changes in the industrial structure have caused a large number of factories to shut down. Especially in rural areas, the local industries have declined, and many factory sites became unused. This paper draws upon research on textile mills in Kaizuka City to demonstrate how these sites are being used now. The paper argues that many sites have been changed into other usages. On the other hand, there is concern that, in the sites which have been redeveloped before 2003, the uneasiness of the health hazard by the soil contamination could continue to be left in the future.

    The aim of this study is to clarify costs and benefits of the enclosed arcade of Nibangai, which is thought of as one of prosperous shopping arcades. Through interviews and analyzing documents, following facts are apparent. It is possible to say that economical and human costs of building, maintaining, and taking away an enclosed arcade represent a heavy burden on the local commercial association. On the other hand, cooperative relationships of within the association and the budget of the association are fostered by the existence of an enclosed arcade. And the enclosed arcade also influences aspect of the street.

    The purpose of this paper is to provide a design method for exhibition spaces that incorporates knowledge of spatial preferences. This knowledge is based on a previous paper where probabilistic models were used to represent the correlation between preference and spatial elements used in exhibition spaces. This paper serves to demonstrate these models as design knowledge. We have executed the probabilistic reasoning of Bayesian networks on the previous models, and deduced division- patterns for exhibition spaces and combinations of spatial elements with an expected high probability of preference. New schemes for exhibition spaces were then developed, based on these reductions.

    The aim of this report is to recognize the significance of the public support necessary for maintenance and recovery of rural areas damaged by earthquakes, comparing the case of Western Tottori Earthquake with that of Mid Niigata Earthquake. The Japanese housing reconstruction support system was not adequate enough to satisfy the demands of the people in rural area damaged by the earthquakes. There were some limits to the application of the system such as income limit, age limit and the damage’s degree limit. The local government should clearly proclaim the housing reconstruction support according to the actual situation at early time.

    In order to apply a new greening system with ultra-lightweight substrate to factory roofs, the experiment was conducted. This ultra-lightweight substrate consists of some kind of vine plants and auxiliary materials for inducing their vines or tendrils without soil. Vine plants were planted in a planting bed on the ground. They climbed on the auxiliary materials which were set on the wall, and reached to those of the roof. As a result, the ultra-lightweight factory rooftop greening system could almost cover the experimental area of the roof with vine plants for two years, and could improve indoor warm temperature environment. Furthermore, this system enables us to minimize the live load of the roof to 150N/m2.
