The twin towers of Kenzo Tange’s Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building No. 1 are a good example of how you can create a stylish office building that isn’t another featureless glass box or one of the eyesores currently spoiling the London skyline. I like Tange’s building, and I really like projection mapping so once again I’m jealous of the inhabitants of Tokyo who can see the two things combined in Tokyo Night and Light<\/em><\/a>, an exhibition which will be running from now until April. At weekends the towers of Building No. 1 become the canvas for Tokyo Concerto<\/em>, an orchestral concert which accompanies projections that range through the city’s history; on weekdays the building is lit by Evolution\/Lunar Cycle<\/em>, which takes advantage of the printed-circuit appearance of Tange’s facades.<\/p>\n

YouTube has been accumulating videos of all of this. The best one I’ve seen so far is this 4K look at the Evolution\/Lunar Cycle<\/em> sequence<\/a>. The first concerto performance took place on a wet weekend so the coverage isn’t as good (here<\/a>, for example) but this will no doubt improve over the coming weeks.
