Anyone who sees it will marvel at what is truly one of the greatest construction feats in the world. Besides the dynamic shape of the building itself, another attraction is the collection of art objects located throughout the complex. Paintings and other works by six international artists are displayed in the Congress Tower vicinity. They include an art garden based on a conception by Hidetoshi Nagasawa, a Japanese artist living in Italy. By the entrance plaza and banquet hall are a fountain with seven marble pillars and a pond shaped like Tokyo Bay.
Visitors can also enjoy the observation deck and walkways.
Likely to attract special attention is the pond with its light fantasia, created by beaming light emitting diodes at a mist of water. What makes the Tokyo International Exhibition Center so appealing is the balance it achieves between the precise geometric shapes of the architect and the free expression of the artist.
