This strange tower made of capsules that look like a pile of small washing machines, was built by the architect Kisho Kurosawa in 1972. It is one of the best surviving examples of architectural metabolism, a post-war Japanese movement. Metabolism believed that buildings were not static but could regenerate themselves. The capsules were intended to be changed over time. This was not the case and the building gradually fell into disrepair. It may well disappear under real estate pressure.
