Tokyo: More to be asked for!

Tokyo, Japan:
In a city where the subway map look like this…

you should be able to ask for more then this:

Tokyo’s tallest, the city hall of Tokyo, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building
(And a World record attempt in the most “Tokyo’s” in one sentence:-)
Only in a city like Tokyo could the tallest spose to look like a giant computer chip but regardless of this good intention 243 m, 800 ft, ain’t good enough for a city it’s size. This is why I’m asking you to check out this picture cause sooner then you think you might not have any choice but looking at it(assuming you live in Tokyo that is, or go there for a visit for that matter)

Friggin amazing Foster + Partners!

Thanks again Foster’s!

And again! But don’t you stop making that amazing beer of your just for this.
What we are looking at is the bloody f*cking marvelous Millenium Tower. A vision for a supertall skyscraper located offshore in the Tokyo bay. With 840 m, 2755 ft this tower once and for all would bring back the honor and glory to the Tokyo skyscraper list. Question is though if it would help lower the crazy housing costs in the Tokyo area. Hm. However, I keep you updated!
