BM1 recently filmed and wrote a fantastic piece on the Nakagin Capsule Tower.

As BM1 states, the tower has "...legions of super-fans" and I count myself among them.

I regret I never had a chance to see the Nakagin Capsule Tower.

Enjoy.

If you haven't already seen it, "Abroad in Japan" visited the Nakagin Capsule Tower back in 2021, and a follow-up video one year later in 2022. They are bittersweet videos, as the tower has since been dismantled in 2022.

I've posted this before, but I regret I never had a chance to see the Nakagin Capsule Tower.

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.

This #Photo marks the end of my Day & Night series - 85 days of an image a day. Like the ultimate Gernsback Continuum artefact of a #Cyberpunk future that never happened, and with its demolition will never be, #NakaginCapsuleTower was patched, piped, & modified - a relic of #Japanese #Metabolism #Architecture. In the airport lounge that evening, we overheard #Boomers from my home town talking about their investment properties.

Walking through the rain on our last day, looking for #Photo opportunities, and snatching some final sights of Tokyo. Then in the distance, something I had desperately wanted to see, but forgotten to put on the itinerary in the rush to organise everything else. An apparition through the drizzle, the instantly recognisable collection of squares and circles. The masterpiece of #Japanese #Metabolism - #NakaginCapsuleTower

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.
