Shibuya Station Extension

Shibuya Station Extension

Infrastructure · by Tadao Ando · 2008

Tokyo, Japan

Shibuya Station Extension is an underground rail-station project by Tadao Ando for the Fukutoshin/Toyoko lines. An egg-shaped inner shell and an elliptical atrium organize orientation across multiple subterranean levels. The central void also supports natural ventilation strategies, reducing reliance on mechanical cooling. With smooth concrete and curving geometry, the station turns infrastructure into an architectural destination.
