Tokyo International Forum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tokyo International Forum (東京国際フォーラム Tōkyō Kokusai Fōramu?) is an important urban landmark in Tokyo, Japan. It is used mainly as an exhibition and concert hall and conference center. One of its halls seats 5,000. In addition to seven other halls, it includes exhibition space, a lobby, restaurants, shops, and other facilities. Designed by architect Rafael Viñoly and completed in 1996, it is famous for its swooping curves of steel truss and glass; the outside is shaped like an elongated boat. Standing between Tokyo Station and Yūrakuchō Station, its address is in Marunouchi, Chiyoda.
