I love this project.

Are those graphics of the construction process from a vid? I would love to see it!

Is the design of the foundation ment to spread the weight over a wider surface area.

Kind of reminds me of the bionic tower. Scroll down to anti-seismic measures. http://www.torrebionica.com/bvs-english/bvs-english.htm

Oh another tower. Kewl...

I never thought this project would get off the ground! Or paper for that matter! Looks good, not the best design though. The Guangzhou TV Tower still looks better. Still, this is another 2000 footer!

Good for Tokyo!

I like the design. It´s a good mix of old (Eiffel Tower) and new elements (height).

yea I think this buildings design is disgusting. Looks like a — version of CNN Tower Meets Tokyo Tower

I think it's one of the better looking TV towers.

That's going to be rather surreal for the neighborhood. All lowrises and then bam this massive tower out of nowhere.

This thing was announced years ago. I can't believe it's not up yet!

Yume-sama · #11 Posted **Jan 14, 2009, 7:27 AM**

I can't wait to see it go up.

Its looks like the CN Tower and the Eiffel Tower had crazy drunk — and this was the aftermath.

I like jokes, but this one isn't that funny.

Ottawade · #14 Posted **Jan 14, 2009, 6:48 PM**

The design is rather retro looking.

I like it all but the spire thing on top. To clunky. I think Tokyo has a good mix of lowrise, midrise, and highrise buildings, so it won't be that weird.
