Nakagin Capsule Tower: Running Out of Time!
Hahnemühle FineArt German Etching 310 285g/m² - Textured Matt
The Nakagin Capsule Tower embodied the futuristic ambitions of Tokyo and the radical ideas of Japanese Metabolism, an architectural movement that imagined buildings as adaptable structures capable of growing and changing with the city.
This intricate architectural drawing examines the tower’s decay from the inside out. Peeling layers of concrete, plaster and wallpaper expose its rigid structure, while the central façade forms an hourglass, symbolising the passage of time and the disappearance of a once-revolutionary architectural vision.
The artwork received an Honourable Mention in the Non-Architecture Re-Draw.05: Nakagin Capsule Tower Competition. The original was drawn by hand in ink on artist paper.
