Tokyo Big Sight (Tokyo International Exhibition Center, 東京国際展示場), the Conference Tower

Last crawled date: 1 year, 8 months ago

Tokyo Big Sight (東京ビッグサイト) is the popular nickname for the Tokyo International Exhibition Center, a Japanese convention center that opened in April 1996. Located in Odaiba of Tokyo Bay, the center is one of the largest convention venues within the city, and its most iconic representation the visually-distinctive Conference Tower. The thing most associated with the Tokyo Big Sight name, the glass and titanium-panelled Conference Tower appears as a set of four inverted pyramids mounted upon large supports. Scattered around the Tower's vicinity are public art pieces, most of which are works by international artists such as Claes Oldenberg and his wife Coosje Van Bruggen, Michael Craig-Martin and Lee U-Fan. These include a giant sculpture of a saw, a large stylized pond and three marble beds. #ariake #big_sight #japan #Odaiba #tokyo #ビッグサイト #国際展示場 #東京
