ABSTRACT

This article looks at the design of the restaurant Shibuya in Las Vegas, Nevada. The restaurant features a 50-foot-long wall of LED and video panels set behind the sushi bar. The video screens in the center of the wall show animated images of fish and the underwater world. Shibuya also features a perimeter made of criss-crossing strips of pine set within three horizontal bands that look as if they could be lifted up like the food trays of a bento box. The layering and surface effects sometimes border on the excessive, but they never quite cross the line.
