Tsukuba Express / Kashiwanoha-Campus Station

Tsukuba Express / Kashiwanoha-Campus Station: TACTILE

Interior and exterior walls are opposite faces of the same unit.


GRC units are made with molds.


The design could use only a limited number of unit variations.


In order to create diversity and prevent the limited number of variations from falling into monotonous repetition, simulations were carried out using recursive shapes that could be connected when reversed.


A program ‘Flow’ (: ALGOrithmic DESIGN / Induction Design) was planned for this step as well.


Rectangular segments of these sizes just happened to be cut out of enormous fluid surfaces that continue to expand forever, and the result was these screens.


In this sense, there are rules which govern the birth of individual waves, but no rules that govern the whole.


The whole is generated solely from the rules which produce the individual waves.


There are parts, but there is no whole.
