The Shizuoka Press and Broadcasting Center in Ginza, Tokyo, was designed by Kenzo Tange and completed in 1967, according to both the infobox and the text. The article calls it the first realization of Tange's Metabolist movement and names no client. It was meant as a prototype for a perpetually regenerating, prefabricated urban megastructure.
Thirteen individual offices are connected asymmetrically around a central core column 25 feet (7.7 m) in diameter. The building is 187 feet (57 m) high on a triangular site of 2,000 square feet (189 m²). The infobox lists 12 floors, while the text describes thirteen offices around the core, and the article does not say whether they count the same things. No materials are stated.
Planned additional offices in the spaces between the office clusters were never built, so the building is unchanged since completion. It is classed as an office, and the article states no access arrangements.
