Architecture students or those with structural engineer buddies have probably already seen these, but for those who haven't, feast your eyes on some eye-popping photos of Tokyo's underground sewer system. The photos, which bring Edward Burtynsky's work to mind, look like they've been ripped straight from an anime movie. Do click the link and the attendant thumbnails--seen large, the shots and structures are simply amazing.

This is truly the one of the most impressive project I have ever seen. The shear size, the immense quantity of steel and concrete - and to think, it's all subterranean.
Amazing, I find it very reminiscent of Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira, where two scenes come to mind: the case the sewers (evident this one) and the place where Akira is kept underground...
