Күн бұрынYou've heard of capsule hotels, but how about a capsule HOUSE? We delve into the only capsule house in the world, a tiny house located in northern Japan and designed by famed architect Kisho Kurokawa, of Nakagin Capsule Tower fame. It's the last building from the metabolism movement that you can still spend the night in.
Like this building? See the video I did with @AbroadinJapan about Nakagin Capsule Tower:

I tried a little something different than usual for this one. Kurokawa's residential works are few and far between, and this one is especially unique. Would you live here?

I am so glad that a part of Nakagin still survived. And it's the prototype to the building concept no less.

That's such an interesting concept! It matches perfectly with the forest and nature. Love that road trip feeling at the beginning(:
@neonnwave1 2 жыл бұрын
With this segment of 'on the road', this means your range and opportunities for the channel have increased past Tokyo. Here's an idea: I've heard Kawasaki is a very cheap place to live and may attract people's attention due to the cost being low despite being near Tokyo. Would be cool to see some top tier homes getting coverage.

I wonder if anyone has properly documented the wall storage desk and entertainment system thing with complete design instructions, it looks like something anyone could easily replicate along a wall. I hope they did, I recall hearing at least one capsule from the tower was going to be preserved in a museum.

this is so architectural. Architects are a very special kind of individuals, obsessed with shapes and forms and wanna make different combinations of them that are able to create great looking spaces and sculptures of light, the problem is that they are always impractical useless buildings that are great for a magazine photo session and nothing more, they are not living quarters at all.
