FIXES

Plastic sheeting, tubes and tape used to deal with a leaky roof in Shibuya station.

This work shows great skill and experience – from the placement and ‘give’ of the sheets to the way tape is used to adjust the angle of the tube and sheet to allow water to flow freely to the bucket placed at the bottom of the stairs.

I know that this type of construction is common in stations during rainy periods….anyone else have any photos?

Sheets of plastic are used to signal which classes of product/service are available (alcohol, photocopying, delivery service) and not (tobacco, ATM). The lightbox signage gives a translucent effect to the sheets so that while it is clear that the product/service is not available now we know what to expect soon.
