"The primary merit for the picture is to be a feast for the eyes." Delacroix “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” - Steve Jobs "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand." –Dr. Albert Einstein "Wonder is comes from the awareness of ignorance of religious mass"

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government designed the Tokyo Big Sight convention center in Japan. It opened in 1996.

Similarly to the Ed-Tyokyo Museum, the pedestrian level is opened up by 4 massive towers that lift up the main building. It has three main areas: the conference center, and the east and west exhibition halls. The most historically basic architecture shape is the pyramid. It is flipped upside down and arranged in a square with connections in between.
