虎ノ門ヒルズ駅|Toranomon Hills Station|2021/02/28

ビルの名前がついているくらいだから虎ノ門ヒルズには一番便利な駅だと思っていた。しかし暗号を解きながら駅に、ビルにたどり着くような感じだ。いっそのこと地上に出てしまった方が早いのかもと思ってしまう。虎ノ門が再開発中ということもあるのだろうが、混乱期の渋谷駅に近いかもしれない。全てが完成すると設計の人が描いたように綺麗でわかりやすい動線になるのだろうが、工事中でもわかりやすくなるといい。とはいえ矢印やサインを増やせばいいわけでもない。デザイナーや設計者の力量が一番発揮できる分野かもしれない。(絵と文:サカキテツ朗)
I thought it was the most convenient station for Toranomon Hills because it had the name of the building. However, its access feels like breaking codes when arriving at or leaving from the station. I wonder if it's faster to get out on the ground. It may be that Toranomon is under redevelopment, but it may be close to Shibuya station during the turmoil. When everything is completed, the flow line will be beautiful and easy to understand as the designer drew, but I hope it will be easy to understand even in the middle of the construction. However, it is not enough to increase the number of arrows and signs. It may be the field where the abilities of designers and can be demonstrated most. -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
