under projects, look under section "Civic", then scroll down to "Tokyo International Forum", then view images till you get to:
"structural glass cantilever subway canopy".
the structural design was by Tim MacFarlane. he has designed many all-glass projects - with glass beams, struts, etc. view his web-site at: www.dewmac.com

hi all
okay it's a glass canopy, possibly in japan or by a japanese architect, sort of like a big drape, made entirely of glass.
can anyone help?

check out project by Tim MacFarlane, of Dewhurst + MacFarlane:
Tokyo International Forum, Plaza Canopy.
architect: Vinoly (1997)
It's not japanese, and I'm pretty sure that you're not thinking of this one, but can it be that thing by Fuksas in Milano?
go the the Vinoly web-site: www.rvapc.com
