NOA building

NOA building is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand NOA building rather than just read about it. In short: The NOA building is a landmark 15-storey building located in Tokyo’s Azabu district in Minato, Tokyo, Japan. Designed by Japanese architect Seiichi Shirai, it was built in 1974.

Key takeaways

NOA building belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect NOA building to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of NOA building from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The NOA building is a landmark 15-storey building located in Tokyo’s Azabu district in Minato, Tokyo, Japan. Designed by Japanese architect Seiichi Shirai, it was built in 1974. Facing Sakurada Street and Gaien-Higashi Street, the building is notable for its extensive use of brick stones and large entrance. It consists of a red-brick base of about 8 meters height and a copper sulfate shaped as an elliptical cylinder upper part with almost no windows (with only a full-length one on the 8th or 9th floor), and hosts the Embassy of Fiji. It has a height of 61.75 meters, with 15 floors above and 2 below ground. The design of the building was entrusted to Seiichi Shirai by founder Yoshitsuru Nagao, whose real estate corporation was founded in 1969. The building was completed in 1974.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with NOA building

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what NOA building claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to NOA building before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about NOA building ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of NOA building

In research: NOA building appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses NOA building in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: NOA building is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1974 establishments in Japan, Buildings and structures completed in 1974, Buildings and structures in Minato, Tokyo, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for NOA building outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is NOA building in simple terms?

The NOA building is a landmark 15-storey building located in Tokyo’s Azabu district in Minato, Tokyo, Japan. Designed by Japanese architect Seiichi Shirai, it was built in 1974.

Why does NOA building matter?

Because it connects several engineering ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study NOA building?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
