Nakagin Capsule Hotel - Tokyo Japan 2005
By Kisho Kurakawa
The Nakagin Capsule Tower was the first capsule architecture design, the capsule as a room inserted into a mega-structure, built for actual use.
The Capsule Tower realizes the ideas of metabolism, exchangeability, recycleablity as the prototype of sustainable architecture.
This capsule hotel first inspired me to explore about temporary housing. After further research and reading, it helps to inspire me with ideas to create my small temporary ‘pods’.
