Calgary has the same thing happening where they just built a mall/office complex right over the existing street.

It is an offramp. I drove on (through?) it when I was doing some work in Osaka. It is in the Umeda section of the city. Nearby, there are stores in a highway overpass.

It just looks like an on/offramp to me. That wouldn’t be nearly as bad as say a four lane highway with large trucks constantly rumbling beneath your feet.

This looks really strange, but anyhow futuristic. But I never will work in this building, because of the noize that cars and trucks will make. I believe I can’t concentrate if there is so much noize.

That is totally like all the drawings of the future I used to look at as a kid.

There’s an office building in Austin (Texas, that is) that is built over the street. I always wondered how the folks there could be so calm with huge 18-wheelers rumbling mere inches underneath them!

There’s an apartment building sitting right on top of the Harlem River Drive here in NYC. The cars just run right under it.

I seem to remember there being a building Boston with a street running through it too. Can’t remember the specifics though.

Yeah… but bulletproof glass, just in case :Þ

It raises the age old question; which game first, the building or the expressway? Pretty cool.

It would be cool to have one way glass so you could see all the cars driveing past!

I agree with Ali S. on this one. I would hate to work right next to the freeway like that unless there was some serious soundproofing going on. That said, it’s still pretty efficient and interesting!

crazy! i wonder where the elevators and everything else that usually goes up the middle of a building are…

Gotta feel sorry for the folks who have an office cubicle next to the wall that has the freeway running next to it.
