I'm afraid I've got no idea where in Tokyo it was as I don't bother to keep the coordinates but using street view is a great way to get ideas for buildings as a lot of them are completely different.<br /><br />The view from the express ways helps as well because it gets you up quite high sometimes on a level you wouldn't normally get.<br /><br />The building itself was a simple construction of a central light box with horizontal frames around it to give the building profile. The elevations were lasered from a material called 'rowmark' which is light tight. The sprayed patten was just a random masking exercise. It's been weathered now but there's still a bit of work to do at ground level.<br /><br />I do intend to do more detailed pictures on the 'key' buildings soon.<br /><br />cheers<br /><br />Jamesjimbibblyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11103132608122355990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364641322107214365.post-64623201383209133492015-08-31T19:49:45.485+01:002015-08-31T19:49:45.485+01:00Amazing work James... would it be possible to disc...Amazing work James... would it be possible to discuss the grey "portholes" building a bit? I have not seen one like it before, and it is quite striking, in a sort of retro-future way.
