Aster Co. Ltd.

Mission:
Zero Earthquake Deaths

Masonry essentially consits of invidual blocks (bricks, rocks, CHB etc.) arranged together to form walls. It is estimated that over 60% of the world's population live in buildings with masonry walls.

Although popular as a building material, masonry structures are extremely vulnerable to earthquakes if not designed/constructued properly. It is estimated that around 80% of earthquake victims over the last 100 years have been caused by collapse of masonry structures.

Aster aims to solve this problem by

★ Made in Japan innovative wall coating tech

★ Research at University of Tokyo

★ Structural Analysis/Design

★ Bespoke retrofitting/maintenance solutions
