Bouncing Red Ball

Designed by architect Rafael Viñoly, the Tokyo International Forum (東京国際フォーラム) is an exhibition and concert hall and conference center in Chiyoda, Tokyo. Shaped like an elongated boat, its dramatic atrium features a graceful mesh of arched steel beams and glass walls.

This ultra-modern building located between Tokyo and Yurakucho Stations on the Yamanote Line is one of the most distinctive landmarks of Tokyo (and a must-see destination for every fisheye-lens-wielding photographer).
