The purpose of our laboratory is to provide design methodologies for architecture that are based on human senses and behavior. For many designers it is difficult to explain these ideas clearly. Even though there are already many basic, established theories on architectural planning and design, the conceptualization of a design is primarily based on one’s personal sense and knowledge base without obvious evidence. In response to this, our laboratory is trying to incorporate the modeling of human feelings, eye motion and brain activities into design methods for the solution of such problems. We are also working on practical architectural projects and international competitions as another avenue towards developing methodologies for the design of new architecture.
