Tokyo Sky Tree
Description
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia
The Tokyo Sky Tree (東京スカイツリー, Tōkyō Sukai Tsurī) (originally referred to as New Tokyo Tower) is a broadcasting, restaurant and observation tower under construction in Sumida ward of Tokyo, Japan. It is the tallest artificial structure in Japan. When completed, the tower will have a height of 634.0 m (2,080 ft).
The project is being led by Tobu Railway and a group of six terrestrial broadcasters (headed by public broadcaster NHK).Construction of the tower is scheduled to be completed by December2011, with the public opening in spring 2012. The completed structurewill be the highlight of a massive commercial development as it islocated equidistant from Narihirabashi Station and Oshiage Station.
One of Tokyo Sky Tree's main purposes is as a television and radio broadcasting tower. Tokyo's current broadcasting tower, Tokyo Tower, is, at 333 meters, no longer tall enough to give complete digital terrestrial television broadcasting coverage as it is surrounded by many high-rise buildings.
Whencompleted, the Tokyo Sky Tree will take place as the tallest tower inthe world and as the second tallest structure in the world, beating theKVLY-TV mast.Design
Thebase of the tower has a structure similar to a "tripod", but from aheight of about 350 m and above, the tower's structure is cylindricalto withstand very strong winds. |
