NAGAKIN CAPSULE TOWER

Architect : Kisho Kurokawa

Location: Tokyo, Japan

Start Project : 1970

Project Complete: 1972

Kisho Kurokawa was a significant architect and this building holds a great importance to the metabolist movement. The movement was a new way of thinking about buildings that made them huge megastructures that looked like an organism.

Earlier Japanese architecture made buildings that were interwoven with nature, but this building is more like a world in itself, pretty hard to ignore. This was the first capsule building ever made. I think they might demolish it bc it’s old as balls.
