  Title              :  Breathing Station
  Team Name:  Nihon University HULAN

Our concept of a "Breathing station" is about the control wind flow into a city. In this station we address the topics of the surrounding terrain in the layout and structure and its effects of changing winds during different seasons. Also we considered a green combination by providing a bird path. The start of this station will bring new fresh air and green zones into city.

  Title              :  Sakura in the sea
  Team Name:  Shanghai University  dream of team

Sakura is the symbol of Japan. So our design shape for the subway station is sakura blooming in the wave. We create "4S DESIGNING" to combine the beauty of the station with the sustainable using of it. The first S is sakura. We choose sakura as our major design element. The second S is sea. The top of the subway station is using some light and thin materials to create the shape like wave. The third S is sustainable. We create the sakura solar energy machine to reduce the consumption of energy to operate the elevator. The last S is smart city. We make some technical extensions on our works of compilation, mainly including the synchronization of real and virtual and noise analysis.

We paid attention to the cleaning air effect. A vast green belt is arranged in the planning area. There is open space in the green belt. The open space is made use of cafeteria, events and more. And, many people are going to go the green belt. The building is arranged around the green belt. It is a part of gathering the wind.

  Title              :  tokyo bay tower
  Team Name:  Takushoku University  nagami design squad

The design of this station front is based on "eco-green" concept. The reason why this concept is chosen, is because of the global warming issue. This is not something new, in fact many countries all over the world has started showing their support towards solving this worldwide problem through total urbanization of their cities. Tokyo, one of the most busiest city in the world, is in dire need of an environmental friendly urban space. Therefore, this new station front also known as "Tokyo Bay Tower Station" encompasses on creating an environmental friendly space, as well as providing an urban space that allows people to enjoy the greenery in the center of Tokyo.

Prof. Kazuhiro Kojima
(Coelacanth And Associates/Prof. of Architecture Urban School Y-GSA of Graduate School of Yokohama National University)
  Title              :  sibakara
  Team Name:  Nihon University DOVIO

In the Edo era, there was a gate called Okido. This gate was an entrance to Edo and the only gate to get to Edo from Tokaido. Okido was abolished in the Meiji era. Instead of the gate, the first Japanese railroad was constructed by the side of the gate on the sea. The sea cold be seen from the railroad and the railroad commanded from a close view of Daiba to a distant view of the Bousou Peninsula. A hundred years has passed since the end of the Meiji era. Shibaura has developed into one of the international city. As the urban growth, people reclaimed the land from the sea and caused us to lose the view of Odaiba. Instead of our fulfilling life, we lost the scenic beauty. Now, we are facing the second trend of internationalization in Japan. In order to meet the current needs, we will get back the environment like the sea we had before and stimulate the flow of traffic more.
