It is finally happening. The Nakagin Capsule Tower will be demolished any day now.
The Guardian had this article a few months ago: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...d-tokyos-capsule-tower-faces-uncertain-future
And just a few weeks ago a demolition notice was put on the wall of the building.
I've been fascinated by this building and the whole Metabolism architecture thing for years and really hoped the fight for preservation would work out one way or another but the fight was lost a few years ago and now the end is very near.
RIP
