The research focused on the entrance design of apartment houses where troubles between pet-keepers and non-pet-keepers occur one after another. The researchers analyzed the architectural and mental factors which worsen their relationships aiming to establish a system for the peaceful cohabitation of dwellers of both types, and explore the would-be plan of sharing a space which would enhance pet communication. The other purpose of this research is to get the basic knowledge of the cohabiting environment for elderly pet-keepers. From the results, the following proposals can be made. 1. As a system, the management association of the apartment house makes it compulsory for the pet-keepers to register their pets and join the 'Keepers' Society' which makes rules for keeping pets, strives to keep good manners concerning pet-keeping, acts to cultivate the dwellers' community for the keepers, and tries to mediate with the non-keepers for their understanding and cooperation. 2. For shared space to enhance pet communication and to avoid troubles, the following ideas would be beneficial. a. To avoid troubles, the apartments with 'divided entrances' where the keeper and non-keeper use their own entrance is desirable. b. Another idea is that 'shared entrances' have some merit in that they give chances to the dwellers to communicate. c. The most desirable model is to build outside and to one side of the 'divided entrance' for pet-keepers a space with seating and equipment for pets so that non-keepers who love animals can mingle with keepers if they wish while non-keepers who dislike animals can avoid contact. 3. To make a supporting system for the elderly pet-keepers, the 'shared entrance' is desirable. One could expect the elderly keepers to become friends with other keepers when they meet at the entrance. These meetings may motivate them to participate more in the 'Keepers' Society'. With this system, it is more likely that the offer of pet-sitting or pet-adoption will be extended to the elderly when needed.

There are various theories about the origin of glass. One is that glass beads were made during the time of the Old Kingdom in Egypt (27th-22nd century BC). Another suggests that glass was first manufactured around 18th-17th century BC. The truth is uncertain. Without a doubt, however, glass has been a notable feature of a great deal of architecture, most notably the Crystal Palace which was built on the grounds of the first World Exposition, held in Hyde Park, London, in 1851. It was an enormous building made from an iron frame work and glass. The theme of this paper is the continuing evolution of glass architecture. It discusses design, and plans which make full use of state-of-the-art technology to achieve energy conservation. Here, the term "glass architecture" refers to buildings whose outer walls and roofs are mainly or entirely made of glass. The distinguishing features of glass architecture can be described as follows: (1) In glass architecture, the aim is to bring more light into the building, and thereby create building with a healthy environment and outstanding occupant comfort, which prevents people from getting sick. This can be achieved by skillfully using natural conditions such as light and heat. (2) Transparent architecture allows people to see the sunny sky on clear days, and the cloudy sky when it is overcast. Sunshades are indispensable fixtures which enable adjustment of light and heat. (3) Glass architecture is the starting point for greenhouses, and the standard practice is to investigate greenhouses first when looking at design and functions such as ventilation or the heat/light environment. (4) If intelligent design and function are built in, then it is possible to construct glass architecture with outstanding occupant comfort, and low overhead thanks to energy conservation. (5) Since there are too many types of glass, and this makes things difficult to understand, a classification is used which combines the glass manufacturing process and sunshades.

The five-story pagodas in Japan date back 1400 years or more. Despite the occurrence of many earthquakes during this period, there is no record of these pagodas being destroyed by earthquakes. Therefore, it is believed that these pagodas are earthquake resistant. However, the reason underlying this resistance has not been clarified yet. Of the various theories, that have been put forth, the most plausible explanation is that one offered by the snake-dance theory. According to this theory, the rocking movements of these pagodas during earthquakes, which resemble a snake dance, protects them from destruction. The pagodas are subjected to few horizontal vibrations during earthquakes. However, a structural model that can recreate these rocking vibrations has yet been created. While we attempted to create such a structural model on a laboratory scale, the aim of our study is that one of describing the structural process during the earthquake shaking, and explaining the results we obtain by writing reports.
