　I work on research and education of Architectural Design. I have been published various architectural works from private house to public buildings on periodicals and professional magazines. The main theme is the creative design with logical approach of structural technologies and environmental performances. I have researched on the techtonical themes like the design possibility of architecture made of bamboo and the structure made with interdependent, like tensegrity or reciprocal, system. However, after the natural disaster of Kumamoto Earthquake 2016 and North Kyushu Heavy Rain 2017 provision and environmental improvement of temporary housing became my main research issue. The KASEI (Kyushu Architectural Students Supporters Environmental Improvement) project, I organized for the Kumamoto Earthquake, is primarily a students’ volunteer activity. It also provides many research themes directly related to our society and an incomparable outreach education on site. 　As an architectural design professional I have worked on social activities like the advisor of Kumamoto Artpolis, juries of competitions, advisors of municipalities, preservation and rebirth activities of modern architecture. I am willing to be a joint between our society and the university. In 2020 we organized BeCAT (Built Environment Center with Art and Technology) for implementation of research outcome into our society, and I became a deputy director of it. I have educated many foreign students and have sent many of our students to abroad. The common language of architectural design easily let them jump over the gap between nationalities or cultural backgrounds. I would like to educate individuals with broad vision and without any prejudice nor discrimination.
