Building in Japan looks like its outer layer is cracking way to reveal a nicer, glass interior.

I don't get it

Looks like a "Fringe" event. When the 2 worlds would intersect. I miss that show.

Is there a story behind this? Was it damaged in an earthquake and they fixed it like this? or is it just designed like this?

They started a war. They lost said war. The remember not to start wars.

Company that built it must love their executives, all of their corner offices must look AWESOME.

It molts every spring. This is fairly common for Asian buildings in general and I don't know why this one is special.

It was designed that way. The Japanese building code is really demanding concerning earthquake standards, so this is entirely intentional.

Actually, it's shedding its crust. Concrete buildings must do this periodically as they grow. The new crust is all shiny at first. TMYK!

Looks like *at least* 6 stories, in fact.

Some might even say the roof access is a seventh floor! They are of course wrong and roofs are roofs.

Happens when locals complain a lot that they don't want any construction. So developers rebuild the inside entirely and leave the frame.

Happened with the BBC building in London, although in this case, it looks more deliberate and frankly, almost digitally fake.
