...replicas of Michelangelo's David and the Venus de Milo. Corporate Japan's balance sheet has never been stronger, led by Toyota, which just reported a record $3.5 billion profit for the last three months of 2006. At the end of March, Japan's capital will receive a new crown jewel: the 54-story Tokyo Midtown complex in Roppongi, which will feature another new art museum inside the city's tallest skyscraper, topped by a new Ritz-Carlton hotel. You can reserve the top suite for a mere $17,300 a night...

Calatrava himself described the 40,000-sq-m building as the culmination of 14 years' work. "This project is the most intense, the one I've devoted most time to," he said. "It represents a correlation between spectator, musician and artist."
