Description: This is the Asahi Beer Hall, its real name is La Flamme d’Or in Tokyo. Designed by Philippe Starck, the golden flame rises up from the roof of a solid black building which has gently curving edges. The flame is made of metal, weighs over 300 tons, and is covered in simulated gold leaf - making it gleam beautifully on sunny days.
The structure has generated the nickname 'The Golden Turd'. |
