A great building for Tokyo that captures the essence of the city -- exotic and futuristic. The Fuji TV head office (headquarters) isn't some towering skyscraper; it is the correct scale for Tokyo. But it does glitter and shimmer like an apparition from the future. Its shiny squarish skeleton complements the nearby cranes of the Port of Tokyo, while its Sphere Observation Deck appears to hover above the gantries like a space ship leaving a space port. Though there are empty spaces in the building's frame, much of the grid is an illusion created by recessed banks of windows flanked by textured columns.
