In Giappone niente è costruito per l'eternità e dopo anni di dibattiti, ormai da qualche settimana, è iniziata la demolizione della Nakagin Capsule Tower, un edificio storico di Tokyo pregettato da Kishō Kurokawa nel 1972 la cui particolarità è rappresentata dal fatto che ogni piccolissimo cubo era progettato per essere un attrezzato appartamento.In questo video vi mostriamo lo stato della demolizione. Buona visione! | Tommaso in Giappone

I recreated the Nakagin capsule tower using LEGO The Nakagin Capsule Tower Building was a mixed-use residential and office tower in Tokyo. Designed by architect Kisho Kurokawa., the building was a rare remaining example of Japanese Metabolism. It was the world’s first example of capsule architecture ostensibly built for permanent and practical use. The building, however, fell into disrepair. Around thirty of the 140 capsules were still in use as apartments by October 2012, while others were used

🏨 The Nakagin Capsule Tower, built in 1972 and designed by architect Kisho Kurokawa is under demolition! The tower's individual capsules were supposed to be repaired or replaced every 25 years, but a lack of funding left them in ruins, incompatible with current seismic standards and they began to deteriorate.
