Three Kinds of Flow
All three stations share the theme of flow, but they handle it in different ways.

The Shin-Minamata Station creates flow from unit pieces.
The screens of the Kashiwanoha Park Station are flow itself.
The architecture of the Kashiwa-tanaka Station is an object placed in the midst of flow.

Part and Whole: From Architecture
There are additional similarities and differences between the three stations from the viewpoint of part and whole.

In the Shin-Minamata Station, the whole is generated by relationships between a large number of parts, whereas in the Kashiwa-tanaka Station the whole consists of a single skin and there are no parts.
In the Kashiwanoha Park Station, the whole is created by expansion of the parts, so that it could be said that there is no whole.
