Naples is a historic city in southern Italy, but now is a comprehensive shelter intellectual information that spans the world.
New York designer Karim Rashid has renewed the metro station of Naples University, Naples, Italy.
Travelers passing between huge columns with profiles of the faces to a wall chart patterns lenticular change.
Sculptures and artwork line graph of the escalators leading to the platforms with the background light patterns on the walls.
The transitions that he / she from one environment to another, he / she is more likely to review the previous day's events, or preparing for the next task. Our concept focuses on the traveler's experience at the train station, and how the environment can serve as a break in the schedule of a day.
University metro station of Naples is passed through a multi-cultural, academic community of thousands of passengers a day.
A creative concept that communicates and integrates knowledge in the digital era, the language on the world stage by reducing innovation and mobility in the third technological revolution.
This is the change in Italy and the station is a metaphor for this new condition of global wiring. Station is integrated with its surroundings and provides a platform for innovative strategy, cutting edge design.
We use the condescension of the square to the subway platforms to represent a metaphorical brain change conscious to the spiritual mind. Experiencing this trip, the traveler is able to define their own experience to interpret the change in the person of a "brain state" occupied "state mental focus.
Upon entering the station plaza metro station, the visitor walks through a room with tiles, each printed with new words created in the last century. Once the visitor arrives in the lobby of the station, he / she is affected by the soft nature of space, the palette of bold colors and designs.
Along the back wall of the lobby of the station, the colors changing lenticular imagery and offers an interesting perspective as siteline travelers proceed to the platforms below. The intersection between the heads of the banks profile (metaphorically cross the dialogue) is an abstraction, sculpture reflecting SYNPOSIS ganglia of the brain and the synapses that occur within them.
As we descend to the subway platforms via escalators, the visitor experiences a transition from the busy plaza to a more intimate, focused environment. This is where we show several works of art and graphic art as a focal point. These abstract images invoke the user to shape the environment according to her / their own creative interpretations.
Rolling programming LED screens located behind frosted glass universally accepted words, knowledge and reference to the multicultural university setting.
Descending and ascending the stairs on each respective platform, the measures abstracted portraits of Dante and Beatrice. Once the traveler arrives at the end of the escalator, digital art is still processing him / her to the stairs to the platform. Accent colors, lime and pink indicates the direction and guide visitors through the descent to the final destination.
the surfaces of the aircraft structure to speak of the beauty of our voxels fuselage of the information flow multidimensional and dynamic and increasingly the age of data (infostethiks).
The level of the platform of the subway station where people are more static over time. An experience of waiting for the subway is reinforced by the peaceful, imaginative environment "mental state." Space is provided in the form of landscape forms.
The rear wall of the subway platform is a work of art backlit, providing a soft glow and continuous in space. Through the platform, digital artwork creates a fun distraction. In addition to the iconography, the piece may include a shadow of a train in the opposite direction, etc to indicate the arrival of a train.
A metro station is a space-time, temporary, however, the traveler is for a short period of time before continuing their journey.
