Tokyo Dome, Indoor stadium in Bunkyo, Japan
Tokyo Dome features an air-supported structure with a white dome roof, reaching a total capacity of 55,000 spectators for concerts and 43,500 for baseball games.
The stadium opened on March 17, 1988, on the former site of the Velodrome, following a construction period that began in May 1985.
The venue serves as the home field for the Yomiuri Giants baseball team and hosts numerous international music performances, wrestling events, and sporting competitions.
The stadium connects directly to Korakuen Station on the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi line and Suidobashi Station on the JR Chuo Line for easy access.
The structure's shape earned it the nickname 'The Big Egg' and became a standard unit of measurement in Japan for comparing the size of large buildings.

This collection gathers examples of architectural rehabilitation where former industrial sites have been transformed into new spaces for living, culture, and gatherings. These projects illustrate how contemporary architecture can give a second life to structures that marked European and North American industrial history, while maintaining their original identity. Included are the Oberhausen Gasometer, a 117-meter gas holder converted into exhibition space, the Van Nelle Factory in Rotterdam, an old coffee and tobacco factory turned cultural venue, and the High Line in New York, a 1930s elevated railway converted into a 2.3-kilometer urban park. The Zeche Zollverein complex in Essen showcases Bauhaus-style industrial architecture from the 1930s, while Strijp-S in Eindhoven, a former Philips production site, now hosts creative and technological studios. These sites demonstrate the possibilities offered by repurposing industrial heritage into accessible public spaces.
