One of the most curious building in Japan is the Gate Tower Building in Osaka, Japan. The 5th, 6th and 7th floors of this 16-story office building is occupied by an express highway - passing right through the building. The highway does not make contact with the building, and a structure surrounding the highway keeps noise and vibration out.

Waoh!! This Is Epic!!

All i can say is Whaoooo!

Dont worry we get this kind building too for Ibadan. Lol

Nice.. I think thats the better option.. Instead of it bn demolished..

Nice

its cool

Where brains dey work well

I have a dream dat naija will have dis kinda building very soon

kai I can't just say anything. this is beautiful and this is where brain works. Am not really really surprised because to become the president of China or Japan, u must have PhD in engineering and that helps u think for 20years. but in Nigeria, u can become president even if u read eatery if only u have money to bribe. hence mod projects

Awesome doesn't even begin to describe the building.

Look where other countries are heading and here we still dwell on useless sentiments bordering on tribe and religion, with one Arabisala, who one supposes should know better, stoking such flames.

God help us.

When I see stuffs like this, I am ashamed for Nigeria. I feel shame for our current state.
We don't have any reasonable thing to show for all the oil money we have spent over the past years.

Wetin Femi Arabisala do you?

Good thinking, good product.

And to think this nation was in almost total ruins after WW2 beats my imagination.

I'm just yet to see what concerns Femi Aribisala with this thread. Maybe someone can show me.

why? Are you age mates with Japan? (nation wise)? Would you also look at Dangote 's three private jets or Wale Tinubu's mansion and be ashamed of your self? After all you are all Nigerians. Appreciate a good thing and leave it at that. You don't have redistribute your cynicism or depression.

You don't have to take my comment personal either.

I wud prefer if my state has such a magnificent structure, which everybody can see and enjoy, dan wen only one man in my town has 10private jets, dat only him and his family uses...

Imagine what we could have achieve with all the looted trillions.

Wow...this is nice..can someone link me up with the architect..

Perfect Architectural Master piece. Japan is blessed with patriotic Engineers.

The road actually passes through three floors in the building. It does not rest on the building and the building does not rest on it. The road was made after the government and the building owners could not reach an initial agreement. The government wanted to destroy the building for the highway and the owners disagreed.

By the way, did you know that James Buchanan: the 15th president of the US never married. His niece: Harriet Lane, served as first lady during his tenure.

The only people who used them first ATM's were prostitutes and gamblers who did not want to meet face to face with the bank tellers.

Crocodiles can climb trees. And horses can sleep standing. From 1644 till 1646, England had a “Witchfinder General" who travelled round the country in search of witches and sorcerers.

Makes you wonder why we Africans like to make excuses for our shortcomings.

Japan!

All Heil Asia's elegant peacock!

The most technologically advanced nation in the world.

Beautiful building in beautiful city

Engineering at its peak.

This is very easy to build.
I have a degree in fishery and wildlife, so I can build it.

We're a lazy people. Period.

Just see how many pages this thread will accumulate. That should give you an idea of our values.

and in zimbabwe,you can be the world's most educated president and 6 million Zimbabwean dollars would be used to buy a biscuit,what you said is sensless,should a country be all about infrastructure alone or can't a country have ministers and administrators that have PHD in Engineering? The ruler of Dubai,Sheikh Muhammad Makhtoum never studied Engineering,yet he's city has better infrastructures than Tokyo

Simply amazing...
