"Studying at architecture, I got lost at Shibuya Station"-Architect Keisuke Tamura who was fascinated by Shibuya Station called "Lazy Palace" and "Dungeon" after that experience. Even though the research on Shibuya Station says, "Like to observe mushrooms," it makes the eyes of stations and towns that are constantly changing to shine. In this interview, during the period from August 3rd to 25th August 2013, Shibuya Station on the 4th floor of SHIBUYA MARKCITY , Creation Square Shibuya, "Shibuya Station Boasting Exhibition-Knowing the world of Shibuya Station with a 1/100 model" Through the contents of the exhibition, we talked about the movement and flow of people who changed before and after the direct-to-direct operation of the Toyoko Line and the FUKU-TOSHIN LINE from the concept of model production. How has Tamura, who has been studying Shibuya for 15 years, seeing the attraction of this city?

Order to Disclose the Shibuya of complexity, reproduce the Shibuya Station in 1 size of 100 minutes

Please tell me the concept of _ "Shibuya Station mastery Exhibition".

The concept is the complexity of Shibuya Station. We want you to understand and share the whole picture of Shibuya Station. At the same time that the TOKYU TOYOKO LINE and the FUKU-TOSHIN LINE started direct direct operation on March 16, 2013, and it became convenient, the Toyoko Line Shibuya Station became underground and it became difficult to understand, it became easy to get lost, etc. There is also a voice. Therefore, I thought that the annoyance of all of you could be solved a little if you could grasp the whole picture of Shibuya Station a little more and understand the history of Shibuya Station further.

_ Scale the size of the exhibition model is?

The current of Shibuya Station phase straight after you have reproduced in one size of 100 minutes. Magnitude, roughly a depth of 4 meters and width of 3 meters. However, when only the height to carry out the workshop, as the hand enters smoothly between the floor and the floor, we dare to one scale of 50 minutes twice. Resulting in the better space is born between the floor and the floor, we feel that made it easier to understand the structure of the entire station. In addition, painting and processing it does not at all, had been by to take advantage of as it is the texture of the wood I want to tell the "whole of Shibuya Station as one of the mass."

_ Upon production, how do you actually measured doing the station.

Once you say, it is to be honest because a lie Shi be true. Since the beginning the servants of Shibuya Station research, old magazines, collecting little by little what Poro' and drawings in the old photographs, etc., be found, we have to understand the whole picture while patchwork it. Also, if you do not know really because I mean there is a station if you go to the local, to the actually field work, we have examined the spatial structure and distance. It whole is seen in one shot if there is a drawing in the building, but from each business the company was not able to get it. However, thanks to it was not, but had a hard time, I was able to work carefully because it took time. Given the years since Omoita' Shibuya research, I spend 15 years to arrive here.

100 minutes Shibuya Station was reproduced in one size (depth 4 meters, 3 meters wide)

The Shibuya Station is there is a "L (El)" of the two on the ground and underground

_ Through the production process, do you have that you have newly discovered?

It is the space structure of the whole station, but I noticed a new point of view while watching. That there are two big "L" in the ground and underground at Shibuya Station. First of all, the first one is YAMANOTE LINE and GINZA LINE, and the ground "L" configured along INOKASHIRA LINE. The other is the underground "L" consisting of HANZOMON LINE, Denentoshi Line and FUKU-TOSHIN LINE, Toyoko Line. If you look over the model on display this time, you can clearly see that the two "L" s appear to be off-set. It is strange, but I did not notice at all when I made a 1/500 model at the previous "Shibuya Station in-house exhibition", but I was able to see somehow by having been upsized to 1/100.

_It is interesting. Why, What was the "L"?

Toyoko Line and the former Shibuya Station and Tokyu Department Store East Building in the form across the Shibuya River is built.

It is, I think that still is large influence of Shibuya River. "Kawagoe e" is but I was terribly big theme for the Shibuya Station. It is also the time to think in a manner parallel to the Shibuya River, or on the example Kawagoe, or that it or allowed to run under, Will have an impact on spatial structure of the station. It is very interesting, but the "L" of the two is what has been inevitably born, it's I think we answer that came out naturally in the long history of Shibuya Station. It is well Shibuya Station or has been said Toka labyrinth, but in fact you or I think or not it unexpectedly unequivocal.

In the _ of this exhibition, we put a paper craft of the "human form" to the model, but please tell me the purpose.

In collaboration with "TERADA MOKEI (Teradamokei)" to planning and sales and architectural models for Tenkei set, set up a paper craft of "human-type" of 1/100 the size of the people who participated in the workshop in place throughout the Shibuya Station we ask them. I get put to one person about 15 bodies in one of the workshops, but those strange, is divided into is not so location as you are for some reason around. Especially in the peripheral scramble crossing has dense human type, it has somehow tinged with reality. On the other hand, and human type that fell down the stairs, such as a human type that have a handstand, common and are some people of the comedy route to enjoy making a scene that does not impossible, it is quite interesting. Eventually I want to put the human type of about 10,000 body on the model. Because, one day 2.8 million of it getting on and off The number of people I am an Shibuya Station, when considered in the time of about 3, 4 minutes, the number of passengers who are at the same time Shibuya station at that moment about It's one-million people of the calculation. So, I thought I want to actually look at the physical model the number of people who are in the Shibuya Station at the moment of the 3 and 4 minutes.

From the standpoint of the observer changes in the "mushroom", I want to chase all the way

Teaching _ the transition of Shibuya Station was represented by a 3D printer "station body Exhibition" (April 2011), and was modeled the underground structure "station body Exhibition" (September 2011), about the history of the research up to now please.

Initially, I thought that Let's Make a model of current of Shibuya Station, and one will see the station, which consists stacked along with the history that examines the literature, Well, if carried out in the form of all the transition interesting do whether not it. We also have I made the word "station body (liquid)," but, in the words you have to have an image that go to Shibuya Station or fast growth, to change the form as an organic body.

Observe the change from the appearance in the "station body Exhibition" in 2011, that in the following year of the exhibition as a "station body Exhibition", to migrate the object from the appearance to the premises, have changed how the contents-flow line of the station It was or is I wanted to express that. However, station body and the exhibition station body exhibition for me, which is interest in appearance and content is not that later either in the previous, I thing that has been promoted in parallel to study much. If you do not know the middle, actually outside you can not see, it is with the relationship between the muscles and skin of the body. That said, also announced a "station body Exhibition" earlier than the easy-to-understand appearance, probably not giving you a feel for the people of the world. So, for now, but I started from the station body exhibition, it is good unexpectedly appealing. Well, I realized by the fact that the second time trying to do more and more content, I finally felt the response that I wonder if was able to share with you. To get understanding to show to people, I think that it is very important the order and timing.

_ In the station body exhibition, but was represented by one the size of the 500 minutes of the station underground, or at this time of the station mastered exhibition, did you why big in 1 of 100 minutes?

More simple in an easy-to-understand, we wanted to be as you can grasp at a glance. This time, again in collaboration with Teradamokei's also image, is largely settled on this scale. In his own manner, 1 of the previous 500 minutes, it does not even actually changed anything one model of this time of 100 minutes. However, when it showed a model of the 500 minutes, the impression of you is, "Oh, it's like a nest of ants," I came to an end in the image model only that. But this time, are you as soon as the one-hundredth I follow the route you are using their own everyday. Deepened degree who can at once understand, level has changed to (laughs). Including echo of the reaction and the media of the person who watched, and the other is completely different reason than the last time. I myself, I learned really about the term scale.

_ "Station body Exhibition" → "station body Exhibition" → but has developed in the series as the "station mastered Exhibition", What's ahead is what happens? Or do you a complete?

But it I would have been said really, want to say "not complete!" As me. Speaking of why, from Shibuya Station will continue to change. Honestly, I have not yet thought the next thing. However, redevelopment advances of the future Shibuya Station, Shibuya Station, so will continue to high-rise, I will want to go chasing it. Of course, since the Shibuya Station is in conjunction with the movement of the social and economic, it is the simple and thinks that there is no, but it is described as "mushroom" it. In short, what the wind blows, on whether the air flows with a what kind of moist air, even to a different way of the growth of the mushrooms, or decline and may become small. I, in the position of the observer changes in the mushrooms, we would like to chase much.
