The client, founded at the request of the former Ministry of Railways to maintain and reinforce Japan’s rail system, is a general construction company with far-reaching expertise in the field of rail-related construction. The designer Takuya Wakizaki, the founder of MOTIVE Inc., created a wayfinding system for the institute, which the client built to develop human resources. For the design motif, the designer used rail lines-the core identity of the client. Through the design, the designer strove to create a space that would help trainees feel a sense of pride in their work.

MOTIVE Inc.'s main design field is orientation design = environmental information design. As the morning sun climbs, you can find the east direction. If you smell the tide, you can feel the sea is near. When you see the light ahead of the tunnel, you can find the exit. MOTIVE Inc. believes that humans have the ability to adapt and act in the environment by receiving the "stimulus = information" sent by the environment. How do the various "Stimulus = Information" in the world act on the brain, mind, and body to become the "motive" in which people adapt to their environment and act? What is the difference between information that leads to "motive" and information that does not? Furniture designers repeat human body drawing to make comfortable chairs. As MOTIVE Inc. draws on human ‘thinking’ and ‘motive’, MOTIVE Inc. will work on orientation design = environmental information design.
