Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

Japanese modern architecture, Tokyo Big Sight

Tue, July 29, 2014, by Muza-chan
Although it was built 18 years ago, the Tokyo International Exhibition Center, also know as Tokyo Big Sight, remains one of the most impressive buildings in Tokyo and it will be one of the few old buildings to be used for the 2020 Summer Olympics, when it will host the main broadcasting and press center, and the wrestling, fencing and taekwondo competitions.

The building distinguishes itself by its central Conference Tower, featuring 4 inverted pyramids. The tower is placed next to a modern Japanese garden, with an unusual pond with angular edges that offers, as you can see in this photo, a very confusing reflection.
