 | | Toichi Takenaka, MBA '68, has been president and CEO of the company since 1980. |
 | | Takenaka has more than upheld the company's reputation for top quality and technological innovation; besides the concept of sky cities, which use new conical shell techniques and carbon fiber panels, his architects and designers have pioneered underwater factories, movable-ceiling domes, and a host of other futuristic concepts. |
 | | His company's 1993 annual report shows that Takenaka was building, among many projects, a massive resort in Hawaii, a smaller sky city in Shiba, several skycrapers in Japan and other places, harborland development projects, an amazing 37-story "crystal tower" in Osaka, warehouses, factories, aquariums, power plants, hotels, museums, and shopping centers. |
