    We clarify the total discussion process of the light rail train (LRT) building plan in the greater Copenhagen region in Denmark and the urban vision called LOOP CITY including Skone region in Sweden. The LRT plan is leading urban redevelopment projects around some of directly related 9 municipalities. According to the interview of 5 municipalities, they highly expect to create new work places and increase residents by LRT projects. Moreover, urban research shows many people will change to public transportation from private cars. Representatives from 11 municipalities are trying to have a dialogue from the preliminary draft plan after 2007.

    This study clarifies the current situation and problems of developments of solar panel on the ground in Tahara City which has convenient climate and geographical condition. With methodology like research on aerial photos, field survey and questionnaires on public awareness, the followings are concluded. 1) There are 27 examples the scale of which varies around 300m2 to over 50,000m2. 2) While developments have been led by five laws regulation on national land utilization, control system is not enough because there are wide loose regulation area. 3) Residents consider them as still-unknown matters or desirable ones for environment. But local authority hardly understands development situation, thus system for checking and control is needed.

    The purpose of this report is to clarify the located issue of kids refuge houses to call emergency number 110, case study on 20 elementary school area in old Matsue city. Kids refuge houses have been needed since 1990s, because of increase of atrocious crime. Police and prefectural government put ahead that volunteer puts kids refuge houses into school route. In this research, it is clear that kids refuge houses at urban area are shops and at rural are dwellings. In urban area, there is no balance of distribution of kids refuge houses, because a large number of that concentrate at commercial area. On the other hand, in rural area, many kids refuge houses are difficult to use because of put on private dwellings.

    This study aimed at processing parts of traditional wooden construction method using a robot processing machine. We report on the development of the tool-exchange-type machine that uses an articulated robot for processing parts of traditional wooden construction method. While showing the development methods of processing tools and control method of a robot, we describe the development of multiple significant processing robots, which can process parts of the traditional shapes. Moreover, we processed the parts of traditional wooden construction method using a robot with the developed tools and control system, which is has been demonstrated in this study.

    The purpose of this study is to explore the form of “Itakura”, a traditional type of warehouse in Japan; the technique used in its creation, and the relationship with carpenters.
    I investigated warehouses in Tagajo City, Miyagi Prefecture which were damaged in the 3.11 earthquake. In addition to “Itakura”, I also examined the “Dozou” and “Ishikura” types of warehouse.
    During these investigations, I found many special carpentry techniques used in the creation of the warehouse and came to understand the difference in quality among these techniques, especially regarding the pillars “shigebashira”, “hanbashira” and the wooden walls used in their construction.

    The modulus of rupture and elasticity in bending of the old structural timbers for a traditional folk house located in Japanese snowbelt were measured. We investigated four woody species (beech, oak, horse chestnut and cedar) as samples. Old beech timber specimens in the bending strength were higher than current ones. Additionally, old beech and oak specimens in the bending Young’s modulus were higher than current ones. These findings suggested that the beech specifically would have been enhanced their strength and increased tolerance to snow pressure by having passed through long time.

    This paper introduces the Aratama-suido-zu (“zu” meaning original blueprints) proposal for the Aratama-suido project to supply water in Tokyo’s Aratama District. Construction began in 1926, but in 1927, Japan’s government called for the project to be scaled back. The revised Aratama-suido was presented in the 1931 Aratama-suido-shi (“shi” meaning official document). The Aratama-suido-shi noted the number and locations of the project’s buildings in both the original and revised plans, but not the original designs for the buildings. This has made it difficult to compare them with the final designs, though attempts have been made (Masuda, 2006). The author clarifies the original designs, revealing how the engineers’ thought processes evolved.

    Building Standards Law Article 3, it is useful for conservation design of historic buildings. In order to operate this article, it is necessary to specify in cultural property, take safety measures, to obtain the consent of the architectural review board. However, the procedure is not known. In this paper, as an example to report on the proceedings of the old bank building in Yokohama. At each stage, it is effective to consult to the committee of experts. However, the number of experts is small. It requires the development of common criteria and procedures in the aggressive use of this article.

    Spacer fabrics are 3D warp-knitted fabrics, which have a volumetric structure. Together with the capacity to differentially stretch and contract, these materials allow three dimensional deformation which is specific to spacer fabrics. This research presents a computational design methodology which enables the generation of form based on these material characteristics and manipulations. Such a process can not only generate functional surface articulations, but also control the forming of spatial textile geometries. As a resin infused composite structure the spacer fabric can serve as architectural construction and building envelope.
