My research theme is the “Co-creation of information technology and people in the field of architectural and urban design,” with a specialty in architectural informatics. This discipline consists of many elements of information technology, including computer aided design (CAD), computer graphics (CG), extended reality (xR), building information modeling (BIM), geographic information system (GIS), the internet of things (IoT), simulation, data science, machine learning, and deep learning. Each field comprises numerous possibilities and great enjoyment. My research theme is to explore planning methods that include the coordination of these fields. 

In the field of artificial intelligence (AI), we are aiming for “co-creation between AI and humans” with AI as a partner for sensibility prediction and design generation. In the xR field, we aim to construct “xR architectural theory” by elucidating the “human science of the xR space” such as human behavior, perception, and cognition in virtual and mixed reality worlds. In the research using IoT, we aim at “dynamic spatial design with spatial OS” in which the space changes according to the storage and prediction of human actions, emotions, and tacit knowledge.
