STANDING THE TALLEST,
ENCLOSED AND BRIDGING THE TOWERS
DINESH VORA
The Umeda Sky Building is the seventh-tallest building in
Osaka City, Japan, and One of the city's most recognizable landmarks.
It consists of two 40-story towers That connect at their two uppermost
stories, with bridges and an escalator crossing the wide atrium-like
space in the center.
The escalator ride is an experience in wonder as it makes you feel as if you are flying up into the sky. They lead to the observation area of the twin towers. Located in the Umeda district of Kita-ku, the building was originally conceived in 1988 as the "City of Air" project, which planned to create four interconnected towers in northern Osaka. Eventually, practical considerations brought
the number of towers down to two.
