Professor Shinohara’s research direction brings together craft, material, and technology to evaluate and upgrade the use of local materials and traditional making techniques for contemporary architectural design. He also researches on type and typology and the idea of the city, examining the dominant architectural types of cities and their social implications. In his Ph.D., Hiroyuki studied Japanese architects’ uses of onomatopoeias in their textual descriptions. The research contributes to the study of language in architecture by connecting the study of language to materiality instead of formality.
Hiroyuki Shinohara is an architect with nearly two decades of experience in practice. He is currently Assistant Professor at the School of Architecture of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and has taught at the University of Nottingham, Ningbo.
