Building Material Lab – Noguchi Lab
Manufacturing and Material Development – Based on “Architectural Genetics”
Research Theme
“Architectural Genetics” is a theory that inspect every building down to its chemical and atomic component.
Our research is not limited to concrete, but ranges from soil, mycelium, cellulose to gels and wasted tiles.
We conduct experiments like on how to mechanically optimize the adobe brick with Bagasse and sugarcane fibre, 
and simulate like on Prediction of Flash-over and elapsed time of fire spreading depending on each Material. This simulation is also compared and collated to real-sized experiment 
and also, we dive into social implementation. We have already made and practicized a sensor to detect reber corrosion based on our water distribution prediction model.
