黒川 紀章さん設計の「中銀カプセルタワー 」を訪ねました。
How cool is this tiny room! Look at the window! I visit ‘The Nakagin Capsule Tower’ designed by architect Kisho Kurokawa.
There are around 140 self-contained prefabricated capsules that connected to one of the two main concerts towers. The capsule is designed to be replaceable. It was build in 1972.
My friend Ishii- Chan is using one of the Capsules as her office and writing architectural essays on several magazine. In the tower, there are many people. Some are using counsel as an office, and some are using for dwelling even though it is extremely tiny space.
This incredible building a facing to a kind of ’endangere’. It was about to demolish the building and replace it with a much more modern tower in few years. How come? It is a very precious building that remaining ‘Metabolism’, an architectural movement emblematic of Japan's postwar cultural resurgence. Why not to preserving it? ・

I wish a super rich person bought this building and maintained, then the Capsule Tower would be survived. Anyone? Finger crossed.
タワーにはちっこいカプセルがいっぱいくっついています。私が中に入れてもらったこのカプセルは、オリジナルに近いかたちに戻してあるそうな。こちらは石井ちゃんのオフィス！建築についてのエッセイを書くライターさんのオフィスとして「中銀カプセルタワー」って最高にイイ。 やるなぁ(石井ちゃん/「スナックたみ子」/本業、建築ライターさん)
カプセルタワーは、もしかしたらもうじき壊されてしまうかもしれないんだそうだ！こんな貴重な建物なのに！なんてこと！是非とも、どこかのスーパリッチお金持ちさんにお買い上げいただいて、修繕など手を入れながら使い続けていってほしいものです。メタボリズムという建築の動きが好きでたまらないお金持ちさん…いらっしゃらないだろうか。どなたか、ぜひー
