Could you give me some examples of buildings ? Th eonly notable ones in Tokyo are Roppongi Hills, the Tocho and a few towers in Shiodome.Originally Posted by blade_bltz
Anyway, I was talking about housing, and most apartments and houses in Japan are ridiculously hideous.
Please give me some examples (+ pictures if you have).When you remark that "aji no aru" art has disappeared in modern concrete constructions, I'd say that quite a number of notable postmodern buildings in Tokyo retain this trend.
Let me show you a few examples of what I am talking about :
The last one is brand new and is in a rather expensive district.
It's a far cry from regular European houses such as these :
Portsmoth, England (in a district entirely destroyed during WWII, and rebuilt recently) :
Typical English country house (could be in Ireland, Belgium, France, etc.)
Town in England (Cheltenham) :
Streets o Luxembourg city (similar architecture to the average German cities)
Apartments in Nice, France :
Note that I have only chosen residential buildings, not great historical buildings, palaces, government buildings, or the like. This is what ordinary (middle class) Europeans live in.
