MahaNakhon

Location: Bangkok

MahaNakhon is the tallest building in Thailand, there's a distinctive pixellated spiral ribbon swirling around the facade, making the tower seems like something out of a cyberpunk world.

The rooftop of the building is an open-air observation deck, which comes with a large glass tray on which visitors can walk on and look down at the streets and buildings far below, learn more at Visiting MahaNakhon Skywalk.

Gate Tower

Location: Osaka

This small tower seems not very significant, but the tower has a highway pass through the building, this kind of spectacular scene was once can only be found in some science fiction artworks or films, but they did it.

The tower was not designed to be like this, in the beginning there's no such a highway pass through it, the owner of the building didn't know there was already a highway planned to be passing through the plot of the tower before they build it, then they refused to demolish the building, after the negotiation with the operator of the highway they reached the agreement to make the highway go through the building, the fifth to seventh floors were leased to the operator of the highway to make way for it, they built a special structure to protect the building from noise and vibration.

The Gate Tower is still the only building in the world that has a highway pass through, though there's a building in China has a train road go through.
