Completed in 1972, Tokyo's Nakagin Tower, designed by Kisho Kurokawa, was a landmark of modular architecture - 140 stacked, prefabricated apartment pods in the heart of downtown. But now the tower is being demolished, its pods time capsules of the ultra-modern 1970s. Correspondent Elizabeth Palmer reports.

I’m not much for modern architecture, but this building is both fun & beautiful. How sad that this unique piece of history could not be saved.

@christinacody8653 Год назад

I hear you and as a historic preservation major feel disappointed in this. With that said, architecture in Japan has always been something to be cycled in and out. Homes themselves don't hold their value the way they do in the US and UK. It a cultural difference.

@DirectorBird Год назад

Because it was ugly.

@sensualeye Год назад

@@christinacody8653 it's not that real estate doesn't hold value in Japan but is regulated. Buildings are often torn down and rebuilt to bring them up to current earthquake standards in urban areas. A few years ago, I was looking at buying a single-family home in Tokyo prefecture. A new modern home was going for about half a million including fees and taxes. In my neighborhood here in California, a similar home goes for about 1.5 million on the low side.

The first tiny house concept made into a condo format. So ahead of it's time.

@patrickfahey7159 Год назад

That sucks. I'm glad they're not just destroying it. Giving them to different museums, that's a pretty cool idea.

@ditch6389 Год назад

I will always remember this beautiful building in the movie Blade Runner. One of my favorites

@ZeacorZeppelin Год назад

That's a shame, but it's nice they're going to preserve the capsules

@michaelsanchez1361 Год назад

It might be unsafe due to asbestos

@tarobrob513 Год назад

During my architecture lecture awhile ago, my professor was talking about his experience in Japan and so happy about sharing his experience in this building, and one of my classmate said it's just recently demolished, he just homuriously said "I'm so depressed now" to move on, but I felt his pain.

@mililaniman Год назад

I enjoyed learning a little bit about the Nakagin tower.

@eddieg6436 Год назад

“……full of Asbestos”. YIKES!! The 1970’s interesting times.

@johnrafaelb.garcia269 Год назад

I wish I could have a capsule from that building, it would look good if I do a cyberpunk 2077 project on it then open it to public in case if people want to take a selfie or maybe Airbnb

@sensualeye Год назад

It would make a great selfie space.

@emodate Год назад

I remember going passed the tower as a kid. I love that Abroad in Japan documented the history and interior of the tower!

@guangxidavidliu Год назад

Time is the best judge of arts.

@incyphe Год назад

glad the capsules are being reused elsewhere around the world!

@christophermyers3758 Год назад

It's the Japanese version of the "Tiny House" movement!

@ivangraphics Год назад

"Transport Tycoon" - one modern city building was inspired by it. great find!

@poppascoop Год назад

Very interesting, shame it couldn't live up to it's original concept. But I'm confused, report said couldn't replace capsules because they are full of asbestos but it's ok to give them away?

@sensualeye Год назад

In the story, they said they would be refurbished which means if the asbestos hadn't already been removed, it will be during that process.

@HiAdrian Год назад

Iconic. Was also featured in Transport Tycoon.

@rudolfspitz Год назад

I like the concept 😮

@ciello___8307 Год назад

good to know the capsules will be saved and moved elsewhere.

@dorkanderson4963 Год назад

Mars?

@sct4040 Год назад

Asbestos and all.

@Edinihbos13 Год назад

Amazing!

@mutestingray Год назад

Thank God.

@ianbauer4703 Год назад

Fantastic architecture of the future.

@protennis365 Год назад

Full of Asbestos.

@bmuhamad Год назад

Wow, maybe a not so modern day dj / music studio / study room / library space / sleeping / solitude / or thinking space, in an urban setting. Even with possible modular settings...

@arcticredpanda4598 Год назад

The reporter failed to define the modern movement was an era in Architecture from the 30's to 70's. The term "modern" has different meaning in that context.

@mrpeel3239 Год назад

A worthy concept to update and revive.

@donovanphillips4973 Год назад

R.I.P. Nakagin Tower!!😎

@1stWorldProblemsSolved Год назад

The re-use in the end makes for a happy ending. (which likely happened in this building a lot LAWL)

@bernardmansire8642 Год назад

WOW YEAH✌

The inside looks like something out of star war

@burhanbudak6041 Год назад

Chris Broad did a video first or was it Tokyo Lens.

@PaliAha Год назад

I made a pilgrimage to see Nakagin since it was in my art history book. Nearby is the Ghibli clock ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vaRlFxVoDAw.html

@unregulatedcapitalism4002 Год назад

Meanwhile, this would be almost impossible to do in the United States as it would get designated as a historical landmark and sit there rotting away for decades while the area around it decays alongside with it.

@JP-sw5ho Год назад

Oh wow. It's like people were signing up to live in a prison. It's like someone asked "how do we keep all the dehumanizing aspects of brutalism, but add claustrophobia ?

@thevictoryoverhimself7298 Год назад

Tokyo continues its transition to a mass of giant square glass buildings, just like everywhere else. The more diverse local parts of the world get, the less diverse the world gets.

@marinadela1361 Год назад

Good riddance. It was a fugly building.

@wildearth3992 Год назад

Not surprising. Japan is also destroying traditional house and building for decade. They literally wipe out their own heritage 😂

@sensualeye Год назад

If you go outside the urban areas, you will see more traditional and older construction. Otherwise, buildings are torn down or modernized to keep pace with earthquake-resistant technology.
