Mayelana ne-Unfolding A Nakagin Story Iphosta Lephephandaba

Ukuze kuphinde kuhlonzwe Ukuba Sesimanje kwaseJapan ngemuva kwempi, u-Kisho Kurokawa, ilungu elincane kakhulu leqembu le-Metabolism, ucabanga ngezindlu zesimanje njengamaseli ngamanye. Ayahamba, ayamunya, ayakhula, futhi ayabola, ahlinzeka ngolwazi lomphakathi omusha lapho abantu bengasaphili endaweni emisiwe. Ukuvula Indaba yaseNakagin kusebenzisa iphephandaba njengendlela yokubhala nokwandisa leli cabango le-Metabolism, ngokuvula ukuze kwakhiwe indaba yedolobha.

Izici Ezihlukile
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.

Ubuchwepheshe Bokukhiqiza
Graphics are done in Photoshop and Illustrator, the architecture is modeled in Rhino with a grasshopper plugin to change patterns and orientation.
Inselele Yokudweba
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.
Ucwaningo
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.
Ugqozi
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.

Duration: 3 months

Location: Boston, MA, USA
Ukuhamba Kokusebenza
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!
