I ask.. again...
Why is Japan under tarps and refurbishment walls?
I mean, it's obvious the place needs refurbishment. However, the pavilion has been behind tarps for what is now nearing a year.
I have images dated back in May 2006 when they "unveiled" the highest southeast tower with the new paintjob and that's still all that is done. That alone took months and months of work. (I was already refering to the work as me "nemesis" because it was seemingly long and drawn out without a point and elusive.)
So they have been working on this building for heaven knows how long...
They've gone and hung these big hempy-twine (raffia?) braided decorations in the gateways that lead into the back of the pavilion. Those are new and interesting looking.
Otherwise, the one tower is all that is done, the opposing tower has not been touched and is still untarped. The rest of the building inbetween them is all covered in tarps though. That's been that way for a while (and might stay that way forever at this rate) and then the Mitsukoshi Teppanyaki is scheduled to close for Jan 15-May 25.
If they close the restaurant on the second floor, wont they also close the shop underneath? It's a definate possibility. There's nothing structural that wouldn't allow them to block off the windows of the restaurant and keep it operating if they were jsut redoin the fascade... so it must be replacing major elements.
What on earth would people go into the pavilion for during those 4.5 months?
It's been a year.. what are they doing? It had better be worth it.
