Construction has begun on Japan's tallest building, a 330-metre-tall skyscraper in Tokyo designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects.
Planned to be approximately 330 metres high, the main tower would be around 30 metres taller than the Abeno Harukas skyscraper in Osaka – currently Japan's tallest building.
"Out of our three projects on the site, the main tower is perhaps the most visual on the skyline," said Fred Clarke co-founder and senior design principal of Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects.
Pelli Clarke Pelli is a studio founded by Argentine-American architect César Pelli, who passed away earlier this year, which is known for designing some of the world's tallest buildings.
Last year the studio completed the Salesforce Tower, which is the tallest building in San Fransisco, while it has previously built the tallest towers in the UK, Malaysia and Chile.
