Thin buildings

Por kirai el 17 de April de 2007 en Architecture

When you walk around Japanese cities you will soon realize how thin some of the buildings are. They use every little place they find to build new houses or buildings. Some of them are really really thin, here are some pictures I took in Tokyo:


In the middle there is a very little police station.

  1. The space between the buildings because of the earthquakes. It’s a norm within the construction in countries like Japan, where earthquakes are very frequent, so vibrations don`t pass through the buildings, (”domino effect”)
