Togo murano is a representative architect of Japan who had built about 300 buildings since he founded his own architect studio. Usually murano's architectures are told about the details and distinct design of them, and the individuality derives from the experience of overseas visit for architectures and at watanabe setsu architect studio. We focused attention on that tiles and bricks are used with many of his representative works as exterior material, the features of the way to use and kinds of tiles about architectures with facing tiles of all works which he had designed since he founded his own architect studio, and explain distinctiveness of murano's architectures from viewpoint of "honka and honka-dori".

Tile finishing exterior wall, has been considered a maintenance-free and various problems of originating in the substrates and the composition materials have been actualized. Repair method for tile finishing exterior wall using clear and high-solid acrylic urethane-type waterproofing membrane, reduced pollution and deterioration of mortar joints for design to prevent the various problems associated with the infiltration of rainwater retention and beauty at the time of new construction plan to extend the life of the building. While organizing the functions and performance required for this repair method, we report the results of various performance was examined.

We keep investigating the change of organic adhesives under exterior tiles with time. The adhesive used was a Modified Silicone / Epoxy System (MSES). The 15 years outdoor exposure results were reported by the last paper, "6th Report, Change in Adhesion with the Passage of years, (5)". This time, we reported the 20 years results of MSES adhesive applied under exterior tile in tensile test. Even after 20 years, the MSES adhesive showed elasticity as well as retaining the enough strength and the cohesive failure.

I examine the 10-year revelation of chips materials to develop new sustained maintenance technique about the a Kokera roofing which have been used as roof materials of the traditional wooden building from ancient times. I show the result about the one-year laboratory finding of the outdoor revelation examination including the result of the initial change of the 5 with the 6. The investigation considers the change of the fading degree of the color of the surface painting processing how long you faded in one year how much fading changed by materials. In addition, I consider it I examine the investigation, one-year outdoors revelation by the difference on a difference of the temperature-humidity by the four seasons, a rainy day and a fine day, the kind of chips materials whether I am different and how changed with temperature, the humidity in a Kokera roofing.

The traditional wooden architectures and the roofs of kaya are decreasing year by year in Japan. It is necessary to keeped the long-term durability of the roof. Although the examinations that could be evaluate the effectiveness of water fluidity inclines of the kaya materials in the roof is not done well. In this study, the kaya roof body was constructed and the experiments for evaluating the early drying conditions after watering of the rain was enforced. As the results of experiments, it was cleard that it becomes effective measures for preserving the kaya material for long terms by holding the kaya so as to increase the incline to the roof and become ease drying these materials.

Horyuji is the most old existing wooden architecture and esteemed the founder of building technology in Japan. Horyuji was built by using highest building technology so appeared suddenly in 7th century. The building technology was transferred by the carpenter groups from peninsular Korea, background technology was also supported by ancient Chinese carpenters. This report discussed on the resources of building technology through the measurement system of the planning and dimension system of building members appeared in Kondo, Gojunoto and Corridor. Special focus point of this report is the influence of Kanejaku, the oldest measurement system in Japan, and Rohanjaku, the Chinese old carpenter's measurement system.

There are a lot of inorganic materials of the coloring material used by constructing World Heritage. It has colored it with iron oxide on the surface of the rock in Altamira. There is a fresco painting in coloring and inorganic Italy in mortar in Egypt and Cappadocia. Deterioration in the architectural finish material of World Heritage is examined, a deterioration factor according to the color, an examination of the state of conservation, a deterioration factor the color according to the color, and the tendency are brought together, and the indoor condition and the preservation technique to preserve extended maintenance are considered.
