Introduction to Global Architecture

Kazuhiro ODA

Objective
   The 21st Century will be an era of global partnership. We should make best effort for realizing sustainable society based on better understanding of global environment and diversity of human cultures with considering the impact of human activities on the nature. In the lectures, recent studies of technology and panning/design concepts for sustainable development in the field of architectural engineering, civil engineering and naval architecture are discussed, which introduce the concept of Global Architecture
