About Us
Vision
Engage in cutting-edge studies in design theory,
the history of architecture, architectural planning, and structural and environmental engineering
Architecture is a convergence of science, technology, and art in the pursuit of creating ever more beautiful, safer, and more comfortable environments. Education at the Department of Architecture and Building Engineering spans topics on design; planning, structures, materials, execution, and other engineering topics; humanities, such as the history of architecture; urban and environmental engineering; and living environments. We seek to cultivate creative, intellectual, and ethical individuals with the skills to produce innovative architecture and the global mindset to contribute to solving the world's environmental and social challenges.
Message from the Department Chair
The Department of Architecture and Building Engineering, which belongs to the School of Environment and Society, aims to bring up the person who can contribute to complex solutions for problems posed by our changing planet. The urban environment is advancing too rapidly and social conditions have been brought into question by design and technology now. Strong curiosity, steadily building up the effort to patiently persevere, acquiring the ability to communicate in a soft and logical way, and all the while developing an original viewpoint is very important. Let's make great architecture together!
