2 Yayoi Auditorium Annex (2008) 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.

3 Yayoi Auditorium (2000) Yayoi Auditorium is a energy-saving and enviroment-friendly building donated by Ichijo Koumuten in 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. Architectural Design : Hisao Kouyama Structure : Wood, Steel 2

4 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.

5 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.

6 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.

7 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. 6

8 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.

9 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. Architectural Design : Tadao Ando Structural Design : Yoshiharu Kanebako Structure : RC 8

10 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. 9

11 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 : Hisao Kouyama Structure : RC 10

12 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. Architectural Design : Kengo Kuma Structure : Steel 11
