东京又有一座新的摩天大楼了：日本邮政大楼，一座38层楼的，由芝加哥公司Helmut Jahn和三菱地所设计公司合作设计建造的大楼，将在2013年3月21日周五为所有商业空间举行盛大的开幕仪式。这座高层建筑在老东京站旁边重建而成。新大楼会是东京中央邮政办公室，也容纳一个教育文化博物馆，KITTE商业设施，一些商铺，几近百家商店，一些餐馆，尖端艺术中心，还有更多。

Tokyo has a new skyscraper: the Japan Post Tower, a 38-story high-rise building designed by Helmut Jahn's Chicago firm in collaboration with Mitsubishi Jishu Sekkei, will hold its official grand opening for all commercial space Friday, March 21, 2013.The high-rise corporate headquarters was rebuilt on the site next to the historic Tokyo Station. The new tower will house the Tokyo Central Post Office, an academic and cultural museum, commercial facility KITTE, a retail galleria of nearly one hundred shops and restaurants, state-of-the-art business offices, and more.

JAHN的方案描述：

商业区域包括会议厅，礼堂，面积达600平米。会议室可以容纳各种国际会议，商务座谈会，新产品发布会以及其他。 东京都，一个旅游和商业信息中心也会被置于其中，提供旅游指南服务，票务，咖啡，以及表演场所。

Project Description from JAHN:
Commercial space will include meeting halls, conference spaces of up to 600m2, meeting rooms and will accommodate a variety of international conferences, business seminars, new product events and others. TokyoCity, a tourist and business information center, will be located within, providing tourist guidance, ticketing, cafe and performance spaces.

商业大楼位于东京主要商业区丸之内商业区的中心部位。在开业典礼上，东京邮政网络主席Akira Nagatomi说他：“很自信地觉得使用者能更方便的访问新的邮政大楼，因为他是紧连着东京站的。”所以主要交通方式都便捷地散布在大楼的地下区域。

The business complex is located in the heart of the Marunouchi district, Tokyo’s major commercial district. At a ceremony marking the reopening, Japan Post Network President Akira Nagatomi said he "is confident that customers will find it more convenient to visit the new post office, [which is] connected to Tokyo Station." All major transportation is conveniently located with easy underground access from the building.

由于地板和天花板玻璃材质，自然光持续照射每个空间，降低使用人造光的费用，同时增强使用者舒适程度。楼房配备了可调整的通风天窗面板，热量回收系统，并与大楼冷却塔协同作用，还有屋顶花园，以及太阳能系统。

Natural light is consistent throughout each space with the use of floor to ceiling glass reducing the costs associated with artificial lighting and increasing user comfort. The building is equipped with ventilated operable skylight panels, heat recovery systems incorporating cooling towers, roof top garden and solar paneling systems.

Francisco Gonzalez-Pulido，JAHN主席，“日本邮政大楼有关日本文化中两个齐头并进的而且非常重要的因素，传统和创新。大楼的围护结构通过程序计算和重塑减少了保持生态模型，重新使用了现存平台，其次一个复杂的表面显著减少了碳排放。对于“折纸”表面，不断变化是其本质，北立面非常典型地重新勾勒出位于丸之内区的北广场的特性。”

Francisco Gonzalez-Pulido, president at JAHN, states, “Japan Post Tower is about the parallelism of two prominent forces in Japanese culture; tradition and innovation. The building envelope sustains an ecological model firstly by programmatically reinventing and reusing the existing podium and secondly by the use of a sophisticated skin that reduces significantly its carbon footprint. The ever-changing nature of the ‘origami’ skin at its North Face has quietly redefined the character of the north Plaza in the heart of the Marunouchi district.”
