One Sakura Evening at Tokyo 'Mid-Town' :
It was at the end of my Spring Vacation.I had to go to Tokyo for an Architectural Seminer.After 3 rashing Tokyo days,we could manage ourselves to have coffee together and plan for going somewhere that we can enjoy a nice walkin' trip.Dr.Kazi Ashraf was there and it was his last day in Tokyobefore leaving for USA,and Ropppongi was the place he hadn't been ever.......So let's catch Tokyo metro!!At Roppongi station we found a big campaining is going on for Tokyo Mid-Town,since it was the opening week.Nice coincidence anyway.It was a mansai eve. with late spring breeze and I could recall some mamories of last year!!


It's a composite urban district built on the heart of the city.The thing I really liked here,is the landscape.Although the mostly featured buildings were designed by world class architects like Ando Tadao,Nikken Sekkei inc.,SOM,Jun Aoki,Kengo Kuma and so on,all those seem to be very similar with typical tokyo architecture.Yea,obcourse they are distinguished with their features that merge those functionally with the lush greenary surrounding, I like to appreciate the idea of making such a huge green landscape at the center of tokyo,a long desire of Tokyo dewellers.
