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.

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.

We propose a system that measures respiration rates using a sensor robot to improve a system that controls a nap environment. The proposed system measures respiration rates by applying inter frame difference method to IR images obtained by the robot. We conducted verification experiments to verify the accuracy of this system. The experimental results showed that this system can measure the respiration rates accurately despite several positional relationships and changes in lighting conditions. As a next step, we need to improve this system by introducing KinectV2 in order to realize a nap environment control system used in offices.
