Soc it!
Residents voting to tear down the Nakagin Capsule Tower.
Posted by relic2279 215 days ago in History
How old does a building have to be before we appreciate its value? And when does its cultural importance trump practical considerations?



Those are the questions that instantly come to mind over the likely destruction of Kisho Kurokawa's historic Nakagin Capsule Tower.

I think it's sad that no one is willing to preserve it, in some other countries it would have been restored.

Buried as a "broken link". I won't register to read it, and definitely won't pay to read it. And you shouldn't have to use Bug Me Not to use JapanSoc.

Edit: Hmmm, this link seems to work without logging in at all. Makes you wonder why they bother. :roll:
