In this revised course, fundamental and modern approaches to Japanese structural design will be explained using historical overviews and Tokyo-Tech’s campus buildings as case studies. Learners will be able to interpret and apply seismic design concepts like energy-dissipating braced frames, spine frames, seismic retrofit, seismic isolation and seismic design of spatial structures. Drawing from the instructor’s past 20 years of experience in design, considerations to sustainability, practical complexities and their solutions will be presented using the campus buildings as design examples with immersive 360-degree interactive videos. Learners will also get an insight into the architect-engineer collaboration through interviews with architectural professors.

The string quartet can be defined in several ways. At the most basic level the musical term refers to the medium of four string instruments: two violins, viola, and violoncello. It can also be used to describe the collective identity of the instrumentalists themselves, in particular established professional ensembles. One such ensemble is the St. Lawrence String Quartet, Stanford University’s celebrated ensemble-in-residence, whose members are featured in this course, performing in Stanford’s 842-seat Bing Concert Hall as well as in that splendid facility’s smaller studio space.
