The store was constructed by Unosuke Suzuki, a local carpenter. The shinchikuhi-shiharaicho (construction record) has been kept by the Uchino family since the shop’s construction. Drawing on fieldwork and close study of the shinchikuhi-shiharaicho, this paper explores the characteristics of this misegura. It explains that the misegura, although covered in corrugated iron sheets and ridge tiles features a plaster based created with wooden laths. These construction methods effectively shortened construction time and reduced the weight of the building.

The Schröder House is basically a brick structure, however the second floor is constructed of wood reinforced with steel, and has a balcony construction of reinforced concrete slab. The roof of the second floor also uses steel, which allows for the creation of a large open space. This combination of different construction materials is considered to be one of the significant architectural features of Schröder House.

Based on these consideration, the authors programmed tsugite-shiguchi representation system which computes shapes of cutting for joints. Procedures for tsugite-shiguchi are compiled follow steps in this system: determining a joint pattern, calculating homogeneous transformation matrices as attitudes of each parts and its joints, creating shapes which represent subtraction from original lumbers. Detailed 3D model of Himeji castle which created with this system is also shown.

    In this report, results of field survey for tsunami-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) buildings are explained. The survey was carried out to study validity of an index to help building owners to judge the building shall be demolished or restored. The index describes the relative inundation heights, which is defined as the highest number of inundated stories divided by number of stories of building. From the results of the survey, it is found that the index will be helpful for the restoration/demolish judgement of tsunami-damaged RC buildings.
