About
Iwamoto Laboratory conducts researches on design theory and modern architectural history, mainly in Japan and Southeast Asia, as well as practical design activities.
The main themes of theoretical research and practice are "new material / new construction method", "lightweight structure", "diversion", "climate adaptation", and "low cost architecture".
For architectural history research, we focus on modern and contemporary architects in Asia; such as Vann Molyvann in Cambodia and Shoei Yoh in Fukuoka.
