Three students presented their research at the BuildSys 2025 international conference
In November 2025, three students from our laboratory presented their research at The 12th ACM International Conference on Systems for Energy-Efficient Buildings, Cities, and Transportation (BuildSys 2025), held in Golden, Colorado, USA. BuildSys is a highly selective international conference dedicated to systems research in the fields of architecture, urban planning, and transportation.
Junya Maruyama, our third-year doctoral student, presented “Spatiotemporal Location Distribution of Human Movement: A Behaviorally Aware Soft Decoding Approach,” while Yuki Kida, our second-year master’s student, presented “How Seasons Shape Park Experience: Quantifying Openness and Colorfulness with Wearable LiDAR.” Additionally, Ayumi Mukai, our second-year doctoral student, presented “Semantic Shifts in Japanese Architectural Discourse with Operational Implications” at the Ph.D. Forum.
J.Maruyama’s presentation proposed a new approach for estimating spatiotemporal location distributions while accounting for the uncertainty inherent in human mobility data. Y.Kida’s presentation used wearable LiDAR to quantify the openness and richness of color in urban parks, examining the impact of seasonal changes on spatial experience. A.Mukai’s presentation analyzed shifts in meaning within Japanese architectural discourse to explore implications for architectural practice. All of these presentations demonstrated our laboratory’s efforts to use data and mathematical methods to decipher the relationships between people, space, and society, with a focus on architectural and urban spaces.
