Founded in 2014, T_ADS was established to contribute to and enhance state-of-the-art architectural design education while cultivating architectural culture in Japan. Going beyond the legacy of Japanese pedagogy, in which individual laboratories conduct their respective research, T_ADS is composed of multiple interdisciplinary labo-platforms. Each platform concentrates on a specific theme arising within societies where globalism and regionalism coexist. Currently, there are four main platforms: Digital Fabrication Lab (DFL), with research centering on how digital fabrication technology can be applied to architecture; Sustainable Prototyping Lab (SPL), which emphasizes architectural prototypes for sustainable urbanity; Design Think Tank (DTT), which looks at combinatorial hardware design and the software of cities; and Media Initiative Lab (MIL), which analyzes architecture through exhibitions, symposiums, lectures, and publications.
This project is a part of the Graduate Program at the Department of Architecture, University of Tokyo, under the guidance of Professors Kengo Kuma and Yusuke Obuchi.

Going beyond the legacy of Japanese pedagogy in which research is conducted in separate laboratories, TーADS is composed of interdisciplinary laboratory platforms with specific concentrations (fabrication, prototyping, media, computation, urbanism).
