Architecture is one of the existing academic fields for a long time among all study domains, therefore, needless to say, the building in our appearance stands on the accumulation of very long history, which creates the Culture of Architecture in our society. In the present age, it is required to understand it deeply and succeed to it without letting the culture disappear.
The study of Architectural History is aimed to expand our understanding of the architectural cultures, and can give a guidance to the contemporary architecture. Besides, existing historical buildings are naturally valuable inheritance to be succeeded since those fabrics convey past cultures.

In order to achieve the aim mentioned above, it is required to have advanced ability to read, write and speak Japanese language.
