This city's International Forum was designed by Rafael ViÃ±oly and is shaped like a boat, while another of its buildings is a "Beer Hall" covered in polished black granite and is topped with a "golden flame." It's not San Francisco or Brasilia, but this city's St. Mary's Cathedral uses eight hyperbolic parabolas for its roof which allows light to enter from the top. The architect of that work in this city was the first person from his country to win the Pritzker Prize, doing so in 1987. This city's (*) "Skytree" is one of the tallest structures in the world, while another building once located here was built in the Mayan Revival Style and features long, parallel wings of guest rooms. That building's unstable foundation and cantilevered architecture allowed it to survive a 1923 earthquake here. Many works of Kenzo Tange and Frank Lloyd Wright's Imperial Hotel are located in, for 10 points, what Asian city, the capital of Japan?
