A brief is a short version of a case study.

Tokyo Midtown is an urban infill project on the 6.9-hectare (17-ac) former headquarters site of the Defense Agency, a cabinet-level ministry of the Japanese government, in the Roppongi district of the capital city. The project includes a 248-meter (814-ft) skyscraper surrounded by five buildings with luxury apartments, high-end retail space, 311,176 square meters (3.35 million sf) of office space, and a world-class medical facility. The 564,000 square meters (6.07 million sf) of floor area is concentrated in one quadrant of the site, leaving over 40 percent of the project area reserved for an expansive, urban park that links to the community greenbelt.
