--The old Zhang and old snails who drank in the China Bank Capsule Tower are determined to be demolished on April 12, 2022. 😀 The CIRC Capsule Tower is located in the center of Tokyo and designed by Japanese architect Kurokawa Jizhang (Kurokawa Kisho). It has both residential and office functions and is a rare sample of metabolic buildings. It is the world's first permanent tower-shaped building with functional use. 🙂 Silver Capsule Tower consists of 140 removable and recombinant capsule houses, each with an area of only 9.9 square meters. 😲 In 1972, the building took only 30 days to complete. Kurokawa Jizhang predicted that it would turn the page on the history of architecture. 🙃 However, the BOC capsule tower has become a utopia that has not been realized so far. The capsule house, which was originally expected to have a lifespan of 25 years, was gradually destroyed due to the high cost of maintenance replacement and the long disrepair. 🤔 After Kurochuan Jizhang died in 2007, the building faced the dilemma of being demolished several times, but it was retained by enthusiasts in the form of fundraising or activities (such as the "monthly rental capsule" event launched in 2018 with MUJI). 😢 Under the impact of the 2020 epidemic, Also because the building can no longer afford the expensive repair costs, the final decision to demolish the building and sell the plot where the building is located. The good news is that some of the capsule warehouses will be preserved or even regenerated, and some will be displayed in museums around the world. 😉 Who is Kurokawa Jizhang? Kurokawa Jizhang (1934-2007) is the first generation of architects in Japan after the war, a leader in Japanese architecture, and one of the founders of the metabolicist movement (Metabolist Movement). He is a very creative and revolutionary thinker, his main works include the Tokyo National Gallery, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the New Wing, Kuala Lumpur New International Airport, the Hiroshima Contemporary Art Museum, the Roppongi National Gallery in Tokyo, Tokyo Ginza Bank of China Capsule Building, etc. #Small group free punch card recommendation #Capture the city humanities #World Heritage Tour #New ways you have never seen #Spring City Micro Vacation Bank of China Capsule Tower
