Overview
An art museum at the summit of a "cultural heart". A skyscraper that came to symbolise urban redevelopment.
The skyscraper at the core of Roppongi Hills, opened in 2003. The New York firm Kohn Pedersen Fox was involved in its design.
Its defining feature is the placement of the Mori Art Museum and an observation deck on the top floors, opening the summit of an office tower to culture. As a model of mixed-use urban development through large-scale redevelopment, it strongly influenced the redevelopment of Tokyo that followed.
