A friend showed me this image for a train station in Japan that reflects the speed at which the trains travel.
the architect explains that he always loved the way the light flickered through the windows at high speed.
Dark light dark light as you moved through the landscape.
he reflected this idea within the shading systems of the building and toyed with the idea of openness. he explained that these stations are always either completely open and above ground, or closed when below ground. None are half and half.
I like the way the edges are blurred and the definition of the buildings shape is blurred. I can use this.
The building is probably just as long as what mine will end up being, but not as high..
So i think this is a great example of how speed can be used to define the shape.
