Odaiba, Fuji TV



(1st day presentation)
I've chosen Odaiba, Fuji TV studio as a place where architect and designer should go to get design inspiration. Odaiba is a large artificial island in Tokyo Bay, Japan, across the Rainbow Bridge from central Tokyo. It was initially built for defensive purposes in the 1800s, dramatically expanded during the late 20th century as a seaport district. Today, Odaiba is a popular shopping and sightseeing destination for tourists. One of the major attractions that caught my attention was the Fuji TV studio. Lit by lasers at night, Fuji Television is the landmark of Odaiba. The building was designed by Japanese Architect, Kenzo Tange. It's fully earthquake proof and took three years to build. You can visit TV program recordings or studios. Also various events, such as movie previews and comedy shows, are held in the building. The observatory is located in the 25th floor.
