From the development of a new seismic control system to create a key architectural feature to a museum that harnesses solar and geothermal energy to fully regulate its internal climate – cutting edge engineering is seen to play an ever-increasing role to realize innovative architecture. Through recent works, this lecture will provide the following examples of innovative engineering in architecture:
- Architectural form following structural and environmental function -
- Development of the Self Mass Damper (SMD) System -
- Merging architecture/structure/building physics to harness natural energy -
- Global network communication in ARUP -
Ryota Kidokoro - Associate, Structural Engineering Unit
Upon graduating from Cornell University, Ryota Kidokoro joined a New York based engineering firm Thornton Tomasetti Engineers and subsequently moved to Japan in 2000 to work for Arup. Since then, Ryota has collaborated with numerous Japanese architects including Itsuko Hasegawa, Riken Yamamoto, Shigeru Ban, and Hiroshi Sambuichi with projects ranging from single family residences to mega skyscrapers of + 500m. In 2008, Ryota was recognized by the Japan Structural Consultants Association (JSCA) for his work on the “Nicolas G. Hayek Center” and was presented with the highest honour, the JSCA Award for Best Project. Other recent works include “Inujima Art Project Seirensho” and “Namics Techo-core”.
Jin Matsumoto - Engineer, Building Service Engineering Unit
Jin Matsumoto joined Arup Japan in 2003 after graduating Waseda University master degree. After two years of experience of building service engineering in Arup Japan, Jin moved to Arup London office in 2005 and has had extensive experience of environmental engineering for four years. During the four years until 2009 in London, Jin has worked on competitions with numerous international architects including SANAA, Dominique Perrault, Shigeru Ban, Zaha Hadid, and practical jobs such as London Olympic Aquatic Centre, Chanel Mobile Pavilion, Tottenham Court Road Station Redevelopment. His specialties include “Building Physics Analysis”, “Environmental Consultant”, “Building Service Engineering”, “Microclimate Control”, “Façade Engineering” and “Sick Building Syndrome”.
