Nakagin Capsule Tower, Tokyo, Japan 1972 designed by Kisho Kurokawa
The Capsule Tower was a mixed-use building with offices and experimental "housing" units. It could hold 140 capsules. The original demographic target was single businessmen. Each capsule contains a bed, a desk, a full bathroom and storage. Individualism was expressed through basic plan variations, interior finishes and colours.
This building has been slated for demolition.
