Kisho Kurokawa was a leading Japanese architect and designed the now dismantled Nakagin Capsule Tower.

Lucky for us, we can have a virtual tour inside The Nakagin Capsule Tower and see how compact each capsule really was via ARCHI HATCH.

The Nakagin Capsule Tower was built in 1972 and demolished in 2022, marking its 50th anniversary. 23 capsules were preserved.

The 13 & 11 story building A & B are twin towers, totalling 140 capsules. Each capsule is ~10 sq m.

I regret I never had a chance to see this tower with my own eyes.

JSTOR Daily - Tearing Down Nakagin Capsule Tower - JSTOR Daily

JSTOR Daily is being quite nice and letting me write a bit about architecture, so obviously for my first month, I had to write about Metabolism.
