Cool Architecture in Yokohama - Cross Gate

Tue, September 8, 2009

Japan is rich in unusual architecture, you can easily find examples of creative designs, ultramodern, futurist, funny or (why not?) ugly buildings.

A building that drawn my attention in Yokohama was the Cross Gate, designed to resemble a ship deck and a gate. I’m not sure about the ship deck resemblance, but I like the gate:

View from the Mirato Mirai Tower:

It is located in front of the Minato Mirai complex, near the Sakuragi-cho station.

Japonia este plină de clădiri cu arhitectură neobişnuită, poţi găsi cu uşurinţă exemple de proiecte creative, clădiri ultramoderne, futuriste, nostime sau (de ce nu?) chiar urâte.
O clădire care mi-a atras atenţia în Yokohama este Cross Gate, proiectată să semene cu puntea unei nave alăturată de o poartă. Nu sunt sigură de asemănarea cu puntea de navă, dar îmi place poarta:
