3D Scanning Shoei Yoh’s ‘living’ buildings A/Prof, Tomo Inoue, Kyushu University

Associate Professor Tomo INOUE, Dr. Eng. (U Tokyo) is the head of Environmental Design Global Hub, eghub, an in-house centre of the Faculty of Design, Kyushu University. He organizes collaborative research and design studios with overseas partner universities. He is working on bringing science and digital technology into architecture research. He preserves the vernacular structures of former British colonies in Asia. In particular, he is developing a method to determine the date of construction of vernacular structures from the date of manufacture of the steel beams. To preserve architectural works as digital space, he is engaged in building digital archives of architects' architectural works.

Presented by Australian Design Centre, Revisiting Shoei Yoh is an exhibition by the University of New South Wales and Kyushu University that draws from the archive of Japanese architect and late 20th century pioneer of digital design, Shoei Yoh. https://australiandesigncentre.com/revisiting-shoei-yoh/
