Richard Rogers designed the Nittele Tower for Nippon Television in Minato, Tokyo, completed in 2003. It is 192m tall. Circulation is pushed out to either end of the thin site and glazing on either side of the flexible worspace. The steel, concrete, and glazing use passive solar techniques for climate control. It rises boldly and expresses its structure, like the CCTV building in China, but at ground level is quarky and uses elements that are warm and inviting.
