I got some here taken by a friend of mine in Tokyo!

btw, does anybody know off a free picture hosting site that does not shrink pics and allows posting in the forums? Homestead was giving me trouble, hence the smallness of the pics.

I've not been to Tokyo, but I love this building. The City Hall designed by Kenzo Tange.

I'm also looking for a place to host pictures..but I know nuts about the process. What pics do u have?

how tall is this city hall in tokyo???

RafflesCity · September 19th, 2002, 06:45 PM

243 m
48 floors
by Kenzo Tange
I think its Tokyo's tallest.

It is Tokyo's tallest...

Kenzo Tange is one of my favorite architects! He's so orderly and precise...Just like me...

Can anyone guess what the conceptual inspiration was for TCH? (another building inspired its shape)

I though Tokio´s tallest building had at least 100 floors...

More pics found via various web sources. None are mine...

Geiles Gebäude

that is the building i always think of when i hear the name Tokyo

the Yasuda Kasai Kaijo Building

September 20th, 2002, 05:48 AM

i read that notre dame in paris served as the inspiration. actually, it could have been any number of the french gothic cathedrals. their shapes are all so similar.

I can never get enough Tokyo pics!

If I'm not mistaken, it's the tallest municipal building in the world.

Now that it has been answered, I remember reading that fact in a book somewhere. The cutaways near the top for the satelite and antennae equipment give it away.

Patrick · September 23rd, 2002, 07:13 AM
