www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0OLp7oX-KkDas Originalgebäude von 1899 war ein neogotisches Holzbauwerk. Sie brannte im Zweiten Weltkrieg nieder. Anfang der 1960er lud die Erzdiözese die drei Architekten Kenzō Tange, Yoshiro Taniguchi und Kunio Maekawa zu einem Wettbewerb für einen Neubau ein, in dem sich Tange mit seiner Beton/Stahl-Konstruktion durchsetzen konnte. Die Erzdiözese Tokio ließ sie ihn Zusammenarbeit mit dem Kölner Diözesanbaumeister Wilhelm Schlombs planen und mit finanzieller Unterstützung des Erzbistums Köln bauen.
Die 1965 fertiggestellte Kirche mit kreuzförmigem Grundriss ist bis zu 40 Meter hoch und erreicht diesen Punkt am östlichen Ende über dem Altar. Die zwölf Zentimeter dicken Betonschalen, aus denen sie besteht, sind an der Außenseite mit rostfreiem Stahl verkleidet, im Innenraum soll der Beton für sich selbst wirken.(Wiki)

Die Stimmung in der Cathedrale war ergreifend,
im unruhigen Tokyo so ruhig, man wurde leise, entspannt.......
Einmal zum Altar gehen und umdrehen und den Blick auf die Orgel einfangen.....nicht so faszierend wie der Raum des Altares,
der für mich als Flügel oder Zelt gestaltet wurde...
Licht und seine Wirkung,
die Orgel wird haupsächlich von unten angestrahlt...

Fuji Television HQ building located in Tokyo water front is an outstanding skyscraper which has very eye-catching aluminum structure designed by Japanese architect Kenzo Tange.
A titanium sphere circumscribed by cube has a diameter of some thirty meters and weighs 1, 200 tons. It was installed to be used as the observation room with amazing night view of the big city.
You can hire whole observation room if necessary for the important event such as proposing marriage, Fuji Television Network says on its website.
The architects of these towers are the who's who of the architectural world - I.M.Pei, Kenzo Tange, etc. (Just a pity that my camera doesn't perform too well in low light, especially when hand-held).
I think this may be the most AMAZING building that I've ever seen. It's a photogenic marvel. I'm sure that I haven't done true justice to this outstanding building.

One of the Japanese new year preparations is extensive cleaning which is done at work as well as home before new year’s holiday, because it is important for Japanese people to welcome a new year with clean state.
Windows of the buildings shine most beautifully throughout the year and that is where I come to shoot.
Look-up shot from the entrance to Sogetsuryu school of flower arrangement located in Akasaka, Tokyo.
It’s not a perfect symmetry but geometric perspective in the urban space looks quite interesting.

Lo strano effetto della cupola che ricopre l'attico e i riflessi sulle vetrate.
Un fantascientifico disco volante.

Please, if you still don't know his work, take some minutes to visit his stream and his blog ... you won't complain! :-)
Panorama notturno della città di Tokyo visto dall'attico (circa 200 metri) del Palazzo del governo metropolitano di Tokyo.
Ospita la sede del governo metropolitano di Tokyo, che governa non solo i 23 quartieri, ma anche le città, paesi e villaggi che compongono Tōkyō nel suo complesso.
Situato a Shinjuku, l'edificio è costituito da un complesso di 3 strutture, ognuno di essi prende un isolato.
Il più alto e il più importante dei tre è l'Edificio Metropolitano Principale di Tokyo N.1, una torre di 48 piani che si divide in due sezioni nel 33º piano.
Night panorama of the city of Tokyo seen from the top floor (about 200 meters) of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.
It houses the headquarters of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, which governs not only the 23 wards, but also the cities, towns and villages that make up Tokyo as a whole.
Located in Shinjuku, the building consists of a complex of 3 structures, each of them taking up one block.
The tallest and most prominent of the three is Tokyo Metropolitan Main Building No. 1, a 48-story tower that splits into two sections on the 33rd floor.

Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower (completed in 2008) is a 50-storey, 204-metre (669 ft) building located in Tokyo’s distinctive Nishi-Shinjuku high-rise district and contains 3 different schools: Tokyo Mode Gakuen (fashion), HAL Tokyo (IT and digital contents) and Shuto Iko (medical treatments and care). The building's elliptic shape, wrapped in a criss-cross web of diagonal lines, embodies the "cocoon" concept.
This shape permits more ground space to be dedicated to landscaping at the building’s narrow base, while the narrow top portion of the tower allows unobstructed views of the sky.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building or Tochō (都庁) for short. The main building (right) at 48 stories (242.9 meters) is the headquarters for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government with jurisdiction over one of the globe’s biggest cities.
Designed by Kenzo Tange and completed in 1990 at cost of around 1 bil US the complex takes up a whole city block. The exterior, with strong Gothic elements was designed to resemble an integrated circuit board. There are free access public viewing galleries at the top of each tower of the main building - check local guides for opening times. Staff in the building are just awesome :-)
This frame is taken from the courtyard between the Assembly Building and Main Building No.1, Building No.2 is in the centre of the frame. Was looking for the Fritz Lang vibe...

Catholic Sekiguchi Church, or St. Mary's Cathedral, Tokyo, Japan.
The inside is a spectacular brutalist space, with the light entering the building in a gorgeous way.
Unfortunately: photography forbidden on the inside.
Therefore this YT drone video: youtu.be/TXt4vJVziQs

Site of handball, badminton, and wheelchair rugby for the 2020 (2021) Olympics.
Built for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Yoyogi National Gymnasium is located in Shibuya, Tokyo. In 1964, it was the site of the swimming and diving events. Designed by Kenzo Tange, it is arguably one of the most famous buildings of the 20th century, especially admired for its evocative suspension roof design. (Poignantly his son, Paul Tange, designed the current Olympic Aquatics Centre.)
