About Unfolding A Nakagin Story Bandhig Wargeyseed
Si loo dib-ugu aqoonsado Casrimaynaanta Japan kadib dagaalkii, Kisho Kurokawa, xubin ugu da'da yar ee kooxda Metabolism, wuxuu guryaha casriga ah u maleeyaa sidii unugyo gaar ah. Waxay dhaqaaqaan, dheefshiiyaan, korayaan, oo burburaan, taasoo muujinaysa bulsho cusub oo dadku mar dambe ku nool ahayn doonaan meel go'an. Kala Furista Sheekada Nakagin waxay wargeysada u isticmaashaa hab lagu diiwaangaliyo oo lagu balaadhiyo male-awaalkan Metabolism, iyada oo kala furista lagu abuuro sheeko magaaleed.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- To re-identify Japan’s Modernity after the war, Kisho Kurokawa, the youngest Metabolism group member, imagines modern housing as individual cells. They move, digest, grow, and decay, informing a new society where people no longer live in a fixed space. Unfolding a Nakagin Story uses the newspaper as a medium to document and expand this Metabolism imagination, through “unfolding” to fabricate an urban story.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Cover: 8" X 12"
Newspaper: 16" x 24" - Tags
- Nakagin, Metabolism, Heritage, Housing, Urbanism
- Production Technology
- Graphics are done in Photoshop and Illustrator, the architecture is modeled in Rhino with a grasshopper plugin to change patterns and orientation.
- Design Challenge
- How can we capture the concept of Metabolism, where buildings can grow and shrink over time? How should I identify individual differences while the building comprises the same rectangular blocks? These are the two biggest challenges I need to solve. By using newspaper as the medium, one can feel the growth through unfolding the paper. One can also read individual stories despite repeating units by showing the interior information of selected blocks.
- Research
- Focusing on post-war Japanese architecture, Metabolism was the most influential architectural movement from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. Kisha Kurokawa changed the Western design ideology of FORM (ETERNAL) based living style to TIME (CHANGING) based living space. The Nakagin Capsule Tower is an iconic architecture that not only embraces ephemeral but also changes a collective to an individual-oriented living style.
- Inspiration
- To embrace the idea of flexibility and updating, the newspaper is a great medium as a representation tool. Newspaper changes every day with new information and unfolding it to gain new information reinforces the idea of metabolism. By unfolding the project, each time, the capsule patterns, window colors, shapes, and orientation change within an oblique neutral grid.
- Project Duration
- Duration: 3 months
Location: Boston, MA, USA - Operation Flow
- You could unfold it three times, each time, the capsule patterns, window colors, shapes, and orientation change within an oblique neutral grid, and 7 capsules have been highlighted to expose the interior activities of an individual with personal information next to it. Individual yet connected, neutral yet different for each capsule. You will experience the beauty of the Nakagin capsule tower after you unfold its stories!
