Re-composition of Building Elements
Re-composition of Building Elements
This project aims to recreate the Nakagin Capsule Tower, a well-known Metabolist architecture, by rearranging its elements and modifying or adding to the structure.
This project’s inspiration comes from koi fishes for it to embrace Japan’s culture and provide prosperity and luck for transient workers.
The picture on the right is the concept board. The building’s concept was to build a disaster-proof building that also embodies culture.
On the nearer left are the photos of sketch model, while on the farther left are orthographic drawings of the composition scaled at 1:125.
