 A foreigner interested in Japanese architecture recently asked me, "Are there any architects designing office buildings with exteriors that express the characteristics of Japanese architecture?" It saddens me to see the clusters of soothing buildings disappear for the sake of fire- and earthquake-resistance. No matter how much we increase the greenery around buildings, I don't feel we can imbue walls made of inorganic substances with a gentle quality. (Ike) 2001/03/07 18:57 |

 Beautiful Layout. Fun to see! It would be interesting to show TOKYO map from 3D point (difficult though), as all the three maps look at Tokyo from high up in the sky. (Greg_So's Boyfriend) 2001/02/25 10:15 |

 This kind of perspective on Tokyo (and maps for that matter) is something I was unaware of--it's fresh and fun. It is truly a site that can only exist in the realm of the computer--a site I hope will continue even after Inpaku ends. (Panta) 2001/02/20 18:11 |

 Nice web site. I'm from Singapore and am interested in both the maps of City Gardening and Rooftops in Bloom. (Oh Cheow Sheng Oh_Cheow_Sheng@nparks.gov.sg) 2001/02/14 11:59 |

 I am the head of an environmental group with an interest in super-highrise architecture. A few months ago I was moved by what I read on Mori Building's website about super-highrise promotion. It's the trump card for 21st-century environmentalism. We're presently considering natural forms of energy, etc., and these countermeasures would have the greatest effect coupled with highrise architecture. (Taro Doryu) 2001/02/10 22:07 |

 Change your point of view when strolling the streets of modern Tokyo, and you will discover more historically interesting street scenes, culture, and architecture than you might imagine. No doubt the Great Kanto Earthquake and World War II damaged the city, but I feel we have also lost a great deal to post-war urban development. I sincerely hope Tokyo will lose no more of her important culture and streetscapes, and have high expectations of the Mori Building Group. (ENOMOTO Tamio) 2001/02/06 22:36 |

 Compared to other major cities in the world, Tokyo has relatively little park space. It would be interesting to see comparisons of park area and infrastructure between world cities. In any event, I'd like to see building and floor area ratios eased, and the jumble progressively redeveloped. (Nao) 2001/01/25 02:13 |

 Urban planning textbooks merely touch upon the subject, but I think comparing city scale (#02 "Urban Parallels: How big is Tokyo?") is fairly important. If you go to New York, it is surprising how small the city really is. (hri) 2001/01/24 14:42 |

 I am a film fanatic so I'd like to see Tokyo in the movies (map, photos, some imformation maybe) from Manchester (laura) 2001/01/15 22:46 |

 I've long wanted show Tokyo as a topographical map, (as a 3D map too). If you look at a topographic map of Tokyo you will realize how masterfully Edo Castle made use of natural land formations. Ideally future development of the city will make optimal use of its geographical features. (MK) 2001/01/02 23:55 |

 It's a true eye-opener! Looking forward to future excursions... (Sky) 2001/01/02 20:15 |

 If all of the building tops were planted, don't you think it would create a splendid verdant environment? Not only the rooftops, let's plant the walls too! (tk77) 2001/01/02 07:46 |
