You will have to go to a university (or possibly public) library and tell the reference librarian what you have to find. There will be magazine and industry journal articles about the Centre's structure. The librarian has resources and databases to help you. Another thing you can do is contact the Takenaka Corporation and Sasaki Structural Consultants for information.
