DESCRIPTION:Yasushi Ikeda\, architect\, Professor at the University of T
 okyo\nDigital Construction and Design for a New Metabolism Culture in Japa
 n\nJapan’s tradition of timber craftsmanship embodies a unique cultural 
 practice of maintaining the life‑cycle of natural materials. This ethos 
 can be read as a form of “metabolism” within architectural systems\, a
  concept that also shaped modern Japanese architecture. \n\nToday\, advan
 ces in computational design\, digital fabrication\, robotic construction\,
  and data‑driven management open unprecedented opportunities to realize 
 this vision. \n\nThe upcoming lecture will showcase a range of experiment
 al projects that explore this new "metabolism" culture\, shaped by the dig
 ital turn\, through the integration of design and construction.\n\nBiograp
 hy\nYasushi Ikeda is an architect and Project Professor at the Universit
 y of Tokyo\, School of Engineering\, Department of Architecture. In parall
 el with his practice\, he taught at Keio University from 1997 and was appo
 inted professor in the Graduate School of Media and Governance in 2008. He
  has pursued extensive research in information technologies that co‑evol
 ve the creation\, construction\, and experience of artificial environments
 . In 2022\, Ikeda joined the University of Tokyo and founded the Architect
 ural Informatics Society in Japan\, a platform dedicated to exploring arch
 itecture as an evolving information medium.\n
