Yayoi Auditorium Annex (2008)

1

　The building contains a garrely suitable for receptions and

symposiums, and a laboratory for the graduate school members

who study wooden buildings. The gallery was structured by 8

pieces of HP shells and the laboratory was structured by one sided

rigid frame where artificially dried Japanese cypress were used.

Japanese cedar with heat treatment, LVL, and some other wooden

materials were used as the finished materials inside and outside

the building to match with the copperplate roof and the grind

concrete floor, considering the harmony with the neighboring

Gothic buildings on the same campus.

Yayoi Auditorium (2000)

Yayoi Auditorium is a energy-saving and enviroment-friendly

building donated by Ichijo Koumuten in 2000. It has a main hall

(Ichijo Hall), Seminar rooms and space for exhibition. Natural

pines are used as the structural materials and there are pillars

standing close together in 3.6 meter grid pattern like a forest.

In the main hall, the beams of more than 20 meters long were

built like an umbrella, which show the advenced technical

capabilities of wooden structures. The distinct feature of the hall

is natural light from its openings between the wall and the

ceiling.

Takeda Bldg. (2003)

Takeda Bldg. is a reserch facility which contains super clean

rooms in the basement and a large hall on the top floor. The three

sides of the building - east, south and west - are covered with

gratings so that it can catch natural light while shielding the inside

from direct sunlight. On the north side, it has an atrium opened to

the campus, which provides characteristic space combined with the

grand staircases and the place of communication.

New Engineering Bldg.2 (2005)

Two towers, north and south, have been newly constructed as the

extension of laboratory space of Engineering Building #2. The

massive new research space of south tower is supported above the

existing old building, at the 16m height, by twenty super columns in

the courtyard and two pairs of V shaped columns outside, without

touching the old building. The super columns support the main part

of the weight of the south tower. The V-shaped columns partially

support the weight of upper building but are mostly equipped for the

seismic load. For N-S ground motion the inclined columns take the

horizontal load. For E-W ground motion they stand against the

tilting rotational moment and the horizontal force is transmitted to

the north tower by the horizontal braces arranged in the academic

valley space between the two towers.

Yasuda Auditorium (1925)

The architect Yoshikazu Uchida appeared to have received

inspiration for his design from the gate tower on Cambridge

University’ s campus, but the dynamic design of the Auditorium

is quite unique. Tiled in reddish brown-colored bricks, it can be said

to strongly represent structures existing during the Taisho period

around the time of the GreatKanto Earthquake (1923). Between

2013 and 2014, it experienced a large-scale seismic retrofitting to

make the ceilings resistant to earthquakes without changes on the

exterior of the building.

Sanshiro Pond (1638)

Sanshiro Pond, formally known as Ikutokuen Shinji-ike, was

constructed in 1638 along with the surrounding Ikutokuen Garden

under the order of Toshitsune Maeda, 2nd Lord of the Kaga

Domain. After the death of Toshitsune, the Garden was restored by

Tsunanori Maeda, 4th Lord of the Kaga. It was ranked number one

among gardens created by feudal lords at their residences in Edo.

The pond came to be widely known as Sanshiro Pond after the

publication of the novel Sanshiro by Soseki Natsume. In the novel,

the pond is depicted as the place where the protagonist first meets

the woman he admires.

School of Law Bldg. (2004)

This new facility for the University’ s Law School is sited on

the highly public campus edge between the Akamon and Seimon

entry gates – what might be called the symbolic face of Tokyo

University. In anticipation of this building’ s change to public use

in the future, planning was conceived with as few fixed elements

as possible for greater flexibility. Within its context of mature trees

and monumental gothic architecture, the building’ s small volume

and its screen-like translucency symbolize a new openness for

the campus.

Structure : RC

Fukutake Hall (2008)

The design of the façade is modeled on the Sanjusangendo

Temple in Kyoto, which also has a distinctively long, narrow form.

The height of the above-ground portion is restricted so as not to

interfere with the scenery provided by the magnificent old camphor

trees that line the campus boundary. A concrete wall runs the entire

length of the building on the side facing inwards towards the rest of

the campus. Using the prestressed concrete for the façade and the

roof, it made the concrete structures’ potential expanded.

Akamon (Gate) (1827)

Akamon Gate was constructed in the traditional gate style called

yakui-mon and painted red, as was the conventional practice when

receiving a shogun’ s daughter as a bride. A design featuring an

arched gable with undulating bargeboards (a style called kara-hafu)

together with two guard posts on the sides of the gate was a style of

the highest rank and allowed only for lords with 100,000 or more

koku (unit of measurement for the assessment of wealth). Akamon

is the only goshuden-mon still in existence and was registered as a

National Treasure before World War II.

Ito International Center / Ito Hall (2012)

Designed by Mr. Hisao Kohyama, Emeritus Professor of the

University of Tokyo, the Ito International Research Center will

welcome visitors to the University of Tokyo campus coming from

Hongo Street. The Sakura Square, located in front of the Center,

will contribute to the recovery of natural environment on campus,

and provide opportunities for intellectual encounters. The external

features of the Ito International Research Center comprises brick

design from first through fourth level, and metal panels for the

fifth floor. The division of design is aimed at matching the campus’

Uchida Gothic architecture.

Architectural Design : Kengo Kuma

Structure : Steel

Daiwa Ubiquitous Computing Research Center (2014)

The building was donated by Daiwa House Industry Co. and

serves as an educational and research center for ubiquitous

computing at the University’ s Interfaculty Initiative for

Information Studies. Designed by renowned architect and

University of Tokyo Professor Kengo Kuma, this high-tech facility

also features a mud wall on the side facing Kaitokukan’ s garden

made by Hida-Takayama plaster craftsman Shuhei Hasado, and a

Japanese confectionery café operated by Iron Chef Japanese Jun

Kuroki. Adjacent to the café is an outdoor plaza, which lends to the

building a sense of openness.
