Rendering of the Nakagin Capsule Tower Building in Tokyo’s Shimbashi district as it appeared just before its disassembly in 2022.
Designed by architect Kisho Kurokawa, the mixed-use residential / office building was a rare surviving example of the Japanese Metabolism movement. Erected in 1972, the individual housing units were designed to be separated from the building for off-site repair, refurbishment, or replacement. Unfortunately, this process was never undertaken, leading to the slow degradation of the structure.
Modeled and rendered in Blender, textured in Substance Painter.
