Mattew Baran
Rappongi Subway Station
01_studios, USA 1999, 3'20''

This second project, part of the 01 project, shows an underground station an d the entrance of the main floor of the Roppongi District in Tokyo. The project has been thought of as a great scheme of animations because the station is designed in order to give the users information difficult to convey in a different. For their contents and function, these animations could work for clips, advertisements as well as for giving information about the means of transport. From this point of departure the visitor of the Roppongi Disctrict can go along the great building designed to be a relief in comparison with the general urban panorama , its well-known monotony, cause of stress. The main function of the interaction between structure and animation is that of guiding the users through this space informing them in a single fluid system.

Matthew Baran got a Bacherlor's in architecture at the University of South California in 1996. He has worked as designer and architect on his own and together with some studios.
