REPRODUCTION OF SITE PLANNING, SPATIAL GEOMETRY AND MATERIAL OF “MACHIYASHIKI” IN EDO TO EVALUATE SUMMER THERMAL ENVIRONMENT USING NUMERICAL SIMULATION: Evaluation of summer thermal environment in the residential areas for the Edo townsmen in the late Edo period considering the resident's living activities Part 1

In this study, the information about buildings in the residential area for the Edo townsmen was gathered from previous studies and historical materials, to reproduce the summer thermal environment. Firstly, the information, which was necessary to evaluate the thermal environment using the numerical simulation, was identified. Secondly, the information about site planning, spatial geometry and material was reproduced from previous studies and historical materials, which had been examined in terms of the validity. Finally, after specifying the target site, 3D-CAD model and material database was made, based on the information.
