Really enjoyed this video. Kinda sad the building is vacant, His master plan for the area was interesting. We’ve stayed in Odaiba three or four times. You are full of information, that is so interesting.

2021-03-05 17:20:53 +0000 UTCWorld renowned Japanese architect Kenzo Tange was no stranger to Singapore architecture, having designed Nanyang Technological University in 1986, and was once again commissioned in 1987, this time by the Singapore Sports Council, to design the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Combining the latest technology with a design theme rooted in regional traditions, this is best epitomised by the majestic roof slope typical of temple architecture found in Asia. This amalgam of technology and tradition may have much to do with the variety of images the stadium is said to educe, ranging from a hat to a Chinese temple to Mount Fuji. Overall, the venue has earned much acclaim as one of the world’s architectural icons, with its ultra-modern design that exemplifies Asian cultural values at the same time.
