Our laboratory makes a specialize in structural engineering. We are doing research on structural optimization and computational morphogenesis using state-of-the-art computational design technology.
In addition, applying the technology used in the field of mathematical engineering to the architectural engineering field, we develop a new structural analysis technology and construct / analyze a mathematical model of structural systems which have strong correlation between the form and the structural performance such as tensegrity, masonry arch, or shell and spacial structures.
Finally, we aim to publish the obtained research results to society as a numerical analysis program with its own graphic user interface.
Fujita also works as a structural designer at the structural design office co-founded by himself.
We aim to share the knowledge gained in practical design throughout our laboratory and feedback to research results so that research results are not closed in academic world and no discrepancy between research and practice is born.

　If the structural laboratory in the world can be divided into so-called experimental type and analytical type, our laboratory is overwhelmingly the latter. It is not necessary to have some advanced knowledge at the stage of pre-entering the laboratory, but in order to smoothly start research activities, we recommand you to study firmly about differential, integral and linear algebra in the basic education subjects. If to do so, you can acquire the knowledge necessary for research as the extension of structural mechanics I and II.
　It is better to be good at mathematics, but what is more important than that is intellectual curiosity and curiosity towards architecture itself. Thinking as a structural designer, it is not possible to create a good architecture only by the knowledge of the structure. it is important to understand the concept and philosophy of architect and architecture itself and derive an answer taking into consideration various restrictions such as structural rationality, safety, economy, etc. we want you to grow up with extensive insight throughout the architectural field (not only structural field), so we will encourage active participation in several architectural events and your presentation of research.
Therefore,our laboratory is unsuitable for students who are not interested in the architecture whole(even if who has high mathematical ability). We expect students to deepen their knowledge of architectural design itself in parallel with research activities. We also encourage participation in structural design competitions.
