The 39th NSRI Forum

There have long been calls for a shift in the construction industry from a “flow” to a “stock” model, and since the bubble economy era, the proportion of domestic construction investment allocated to repairs and renovations has doubled. On the other hand, there are still few renovation projects that fully utilize the latest environmental and long-life extension technologies to meet today’s social demands.For this session, we are pleased to welcome Professor Tsuyoshi Seike of the University of Tokyo as our guest. From the perspective of architectural production, he has researched the relationship between production and design, as well as the seismic performance of non-structural components. In the field of environmental studies, he has conducted research on renovation technologies for extending the lifespan of buildings, as well as demolition and recycling technologies aimed at reducing waste.We will hear his insights on the themes of the environment and renovation, and explore the future of architecture in a “stock society.” (Facilitator: Shinya Furukawa)
