Threfore, an serious issueis expected to occur : a large number of people become difficult tocome back home at the time of disaster. Elementary schools or parksin ward is "temporary meeting site", but it is not enough space forinhabitant of a ward and visitor of Shibuya to evacuate. Therefore,we decided to set up evacuation sites as "temporary evacuationsite" as a safe place where visitors are temporarily evacuated atthe time of disaster, especially around Shibuya Station. This is anew concept of temporary evacuation, and for those who are comingto Shibuya, knowing this temporary evacuation site can be kept safeuntil the facility for supporting people who can not go back home(acceptance) is established. Therefore, We thought to need "arrowsand signs" pointing to temporary evacuation site. However, in thecase of Shibuya Ward, even if you set up a uniform sign, it will beburied in the city. How to solve those problems at once? How tosolve more creative ways that is more like Shibuya? The answer wecame up with to artify the arrows and signs so that they remain inthe minds of the people in Shibuya.
