In 1992 I joined the Japanese architect Hiroshi Hara's design studio Atelier Φ. Hara had just won the competition to re-design the Kyoto station and we were working on the design development of the competition entry. I worked mainly on the design of the entrance canopy, starting by making a model of the space truss design which took me over three weeks to complete. After that, I hand-drew the section drawings of the dozens or so individual elements that formed the canopy.
The basic design principle behind the station is what Hara called a "geographical valley". Anyone who has visited the massive Japanese train stations knows how difficult it can be to orientate yourself within. For the Kyoto station, people enter the building under the canopy and then travel through the building by going up and down the various levels always looking back to where they came from. The various levels are indeed like a geographical valley in which people can wait, rest and do some people watching.
