The above perspective might have you asking what the heck is going on here?!? Is it a building? A glass sculpture? Is it clear? Is it even real … maybe it’s a painting?
What the …???
But from this perspective you can see that’s all just part of the glass and steel mosaic and gentle curves of Tokyo’s Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower, a 204-metre, 50-story educational facility that towers over the city’s Shinjuku district. It also ranks in the top five of my favorite pieces of architecture in the world.

Really cool perspective in your lead photo! What a great piece of architecture.
Thanks, Angeline! Yah, it’s really cool and odd, like a lot of Japanese stuff!
Beautiful. Understandable why this would climb the ranks of favorite bits of architecture to see.
thanks, bp! i could see it from my hotel room … i think i took 1000 pics (give or take)!
I understand. I’d probably get camera-obsessed with it too.
Awesome! What a spectacular building!
thanks, amy … much appreciated … and yes, spectacular works.
Great entry Great entry … what a fantastic building – very similar to the one they have in London, the gherkin.
hey viveka … that’s exactly what i thought. i’ve seen pics of other structures around the world that share a similar architectural style, and they’re all very cool.
Yes, they are very cool … they should made all that glass so the buildings was all energy self-efficient.
Have a great weekend.
Beautiful architecture and a great choice for the challenge.
thanks, marion … glad you dropped by!
Loving these shots, Stephen 🙂 Gorgeous reflections and architecture!
thanks, paula! i’m a sucker for sleek, clean architecture like this. it’s nice to see so much imagination at work. that’s why sometimes i consider buildings like this (and many others around the world) to be works of art on a giant scale.
Yes! This is one of my favorite buildings as well. I have many pictures of this building in the day and night. Fantastic piece of architecture!
Thank you for visiting. I was thrilled that my hotel was very close to the tower, and i could see it from my room day and night. I agree … fantastic architecture!
