NEC SUPERTOWER.  Tokyo, Japan.

Headquarters for NEC, one of Japan's largest electronics corporations, 
the NEC Supertower is a marvel of high-tech architecture.  Designed 
by Nikken Sekkei, Ltd., its many innovations include a large opening 
midway up the building which reduces wind annoyance and allows for 
cross ventilation.  The opening also provides natural light and air 
for the tower's internal atrium, thus aiding in energy conservation.  
As befitting a major electronics enterprise, the high-tech executive 
boardrooms feature 21st-century style computer consoles for each 
director.  Because of its strong profile, the tower is sometimes 
referred as "The Rocket."
