Jun Mitsui: De Beers, Ginza, Japan - a photo on Flickriver

            From world heritage to urban jungle :)
A few meters away from the Mikimoto Ginza 2 , designed by Toyo Ito , lies an unusual building: De Beers (2005-2008), a project by Jun Mitsui for the prestigious company De Beers, specialized in diamonds. The building has an undulating facade, in which its winding curves contrast with the regular horizontal pattern that generates it.
De Beers stands in the shopping district of Ginza, one of the most important commercial areas in the Japanese capital. The building is located on the corner of Maronie St and a perpendicular minor street. In a plot of ​​approximately 340 m2, the building occupies a projected area of ​​4022 m2.
