Ando’s design is based on what he calls a ‘chichusen,’ or underground spaceship. Commuters board the buried flying saucer near the top of the atrium and are carried down to the tracks at its base. ‘Because this station has an atrium from top to bottom, you can easily see where you are… it gives you a sense of security,’ Ando says.
