I’m a huge nerd, so I love science fiction.
There are so many fantastical places I’ve been introduced to through movies and television shows that take place in the future. You know what they say, though: the truth can sometimes be stranger than fiction.
In actuality, many of the “future” societies we ensure on screen are based on the past or present. One building in Japan that looks like it belongs on a movie specified was actually constructed more than 40 years ago, and its narrative is entirely amazing.
The Nakagin Capsule Tower looks like a sci-fi prison, but it’s actually an apartment and agency building in Tokyo, Japan. It was designed by Kisho Kurokawa and built in just 30 days in 1972.
Each box, or capsule, is a single apartment, but in 2012 simply 30 of the 140 capsules were being used for their original intent. The remainder are office space or storage.
The building, which is now falling into disrepair, is the world’s first example of capsule architecture to construct permanent, practical use. It’s one of the only remaining examples of Japanese Metabolism, an artistic movement that began after WWII.
