This is the Tokyo Forum designed by American architect Rafael Vinoly based in New York. I've always wanted to come here and finally I had some free time before the Shinkansen (bullet train) arrived so I took some shots. I managed to get about 20 or so shots before I had to leave. Next time, I'll make it a point to go up to the second floor where from what i hear, the views are spectacular.
The roof structure is said to mimic the bottom of a sea vessel.
I'm an architect. I couldn't resist not photographing this beautiful structure.
Great shot with all that interplay of lines, curves and the shadows on the left. And it has nicer b&w tones than your other one. Bet it'll look great blown up! Could be me but it just looks a very wee bit tilted to the left.
