The unusual-shaped windows are very creative!
I think I took about 25 pictures at night of this amazing building...I love Toyo Ito
Mikimono building? Is the Micky Mouse building?
I comment it, just because the facade has the shape of a slice of cheese. =O))
Lovely the design of Ito Toyo!!!
Raquel
what a beautiful building! i like the way you shot it-- and the light inside and out.
Thanks for the comments, everyone:-))
tara,
He is one of the most creative architect in Japan now.
His works tend to be light and well mix the design with the structure.
teo,
Oh, you took the photo of this building, too! I wish I see them. If you have a chance to go to Singapore, it is better to go and see a big shopping mall, VivoCity, designed by Toyo Ito.
raquel,
Looking at the windows carefully and close, you can see many scars from many mice's bites!! When this building was under construction, a man watched many small mice work to open the windows at night, I hear!! Oh, just kidding! Have a nice weekend.
chedwick,
thanks for the compliment:-)) The building at night is also better!
It looks like a big piece of cheese. Very innovative and striking architecture. I love it.
It does look like a big piece of cheese. I might prefer an artichoke building. :)
I really enjoied your beautiful photos. Thanks. By the way... This is Mikimoto, the pearl jowery company, building, isn't it?
