From green roofs to multi use roofing – this driving school on top of a Tokyo building illustrates creative use of existing buildings. One wonders if there would be any additional insurance requirements for the instructors.
That’s nothing new, the old Lingotto FIAT factory in Turin had a test track on the roof in 1923.
And these days (now that it’s no longer a car plant) it’s a jogging track for the hotel occupying part of the building. That said, the banked corners were a little too steep for my liking when I tried it out last year – http://www.mcqn.net/mcfilter/archives/personal/nessun_integrale.html
