“Yoshinori Nito Engineering and Design PC” is a structural design firm providing engineering services for new and existing buildings and civil structures. The former company “engineers network Co.,Ltd." was established in 2002 by Yoshinori Nito and Yumi Fujikawa. In 2010, Yoshinori Nito started his own structural engineering practice and changed the company name to “Yoshinori Nito Engineering and Design PC (Ynedpc)”. Ynedpc’s goal is to provide high quality structural design services with prime attention to the interrelationship of safety, aesthetics, economy, efficiency, function, habitability, endurance, maintenance and constructability. Ynedpc presents an environment where each engineer maximizes his / her expertise and skill for the most appropriate, sophisticated and creative solution through the structural design. Structure is an indispensable element for architecture. Ynedpc thinks the structural design is a result by individual structural engineers who unite with his / her keen aesthetic and artistic sense in addition to applying and integrating various technical engineering to pursue functionality and rationality. An attractive and comfortable space where architecture and structure are united makes a great impression to people. Ynedpc believes that the structural design is a substantial element of architecture to offer the best solution for the society, economy and terrestrial resource. Practicing the structural design is one of the important missions for engineers who take responsibility for the structure which may exist semi-permanently. Ynedpc is well-acquainted with elastic and plastic dynamics, materials, soil engineering, earthquake and wind engineering, vibration, computer technology and sustainability. Ynedpc collaborates with engineers and specialists in various fields such as automobile, aviation, mechanical and electrical engineering for challenging projects with new ideas and innovations. Ynedpc has extensive knowledge and experience to use various materials in structures and façades such as rolled, cast, machine finished, stainless, fire-resistant steel, aluminum and titanium for steel design, reinforced concrete, reinforced concrete with steel frame, pre-tension / post-tension pre-stressed concrete and GFRC for concrete design, sawn and glued laminated lumbers and plywood for timber design, glass, membrane, plastic, stone and so on. The most suitable material for each application is selected based on all the required design factors. Ynedpc has networks with the institutions, public groups and laboratories in various technical engineering fields around the world. As for the structural design, it is truly important to communicate closely with clients, architects, builders, suppliers, consultants and specialists as a team to exchange precious and valuable opinions and propositions from each team member. Ynedpc thinks it is the most efficient process for the most appropriate union of architecture and structure.
