Gem in the sky, a photo from 東京, 関東

Photographer's Note

This is aoyama in Tokyo. Actually a Prada boutique building. Interestng how the structure of the building supports itself. You can't find columns. If you can see the top floors, there are even video playbacks that i don't know how it is projected. Anybody familiar with this kind of architecture and interior design?

Very cool looking building. The glass is really just some kind of shell here for just a structure. It really is neat. You photographed it nicely. Choosing evening, too, so to highlight the effect of the glass. It really plays nicely with the interior and gives it a glow in this shot. So you were very successful in capturing this architecture. And including the street enhances that. It's two worlds, the dark and regular world and then that amazingly lit world behind the glass shell. Great job. About the building. Perhaps it's cantilevered. I think I see at least one possible support 'stem'.
