Overview
A cocoon floating in the city. A vertical campus that envelops its students.
A skyscraper completed in 2008, used chiefly as a vocational school building. Designed by Tange Associates, its cocoon-like exterior, wrapped in a white elliptical net, stands out in Nishi-Shinjuku.
It is among the tallest educational buildings in Japan, and was named the winner of the 2008 Emporis Skyscraper Award.
