  3. Cofounded the metabolist movement  in 1960, whose members were known as Metabolists • was a radical Japanese avant -garde (advance guard)movement pursuing the merging and recycling of architecture styles within an Asian context • Vision- cities of the future were characterized by large scale, flexible, and expandable structures that evoked the processes of organic growth

  9. IMPERMANENCE-removable ,interchangeable capsules DETAILS – detailed connections METABOLISM MATERIALITY- pipe work , ductwork were not hidden SUSTAINABLE RECEPTIVITY- building ready for change

  10. SONY TOWER

  11. PHILOSOPHY OF SYMBIOSIS • INTERDEPENDENCE • New way of interpreting today’s culture- • Philosophy of ‘both – and’ not ‘either-or’

  12. Case study -2 Kurokawa art centre Japan’s largest mueseum Site area -30,000sq.m Floor area- 45,000sq.m 7 display room(2000 sq.m)+library +café + mueseum

  13. Response to site Site part of Tokyo’s Aoyama Cemetry + Down town Roppongi (famous for nightlife) Fragment of former military base +small park preserved Initial concept – building in lush +turfedoverroof NACT(National art centre ,Tokyo) wanted relief from urbanism Lot of development in last decade Building in forest –atrium sorrounded by trees

  14. Philosophy involved • Great art and architecture needs to be fuzzy ,if not like a factory • Fuzziness makes building natural in its own way . • Fuzziness- wavy line of façade-melodius surface of waves or hills – harmonius but not repetetive. • Inside –dancing around cones • Outside-response to trees and wind-surface backdrop to park

  15. Fifth floor plan

  16. Philosophy of symbiosis 1 ) Inside and outside • 100% transparent from inside but cuts all UV rays. • Ambiguity between inside and outside created by use of ironwood floor extending outside.

  17. Bamboo garden at rooftop • Optical fibre for display of real and virtual images 2) Nature and technology 3) Modern and primitive • Wicker finishings • Ironwood flooring –gives primitive and aged look

  18. Thank you
