REBRIEF II

TISSUE

The new Mahalle design of a tissue is under the responsibility of a second designer. it is the composition of approximately 50 units and shared spaces

the original layout with built-in furnitures

This man uses his capsule as his guest room and gallery for the paintings he loves with his own authentic furniture.

a businessman using the capsule accepting the layout architect suggests except the curtain he added.


Rebrief II

This woman, aims to keep her capsule clean and neat. She added a hanger for her shirts, a larger light source and her own fridge.

This businessman also removed all of the furniture and was not satisfied with the heating and got his own heater for the room.

These are the evidence of the rebellion. The residents of Nakagin Tower, just before its demolition, changed almost everything that was designed as standard, built-in feature by Kisho Kurokawa. Kisho Kurokawa was always trying to be in control of his buildings, feeling even responsible for the use of a light bulb that he does not approve. The residents changed almost everything he designed in a capsule in time. This young man removed all of the built in furnitures and built his own bookshelves, storange units and changed the frame of his round window.

Inland Steel building was the icon of the postwar United States. Built in Chicago in 1955, designed by Skidmore Owings Merrill. The building was designed as two connected towers. And had all of its services like the lifts staircases, bathroom and kitchen in the first tower while the empty column free floorplates are in the second tower.

His aim was to standardize the housing units just like cars, making them consumable. These mass produced capsules were to be replaced when they are too old. In 20 years time, new designs would come and take the place of old ones.

This system later became the standard for the skyscrapers we have today.

The steel core would be permament part of the building where the lifts and stairs are located.

Today, our clients are after 40x40 footprint skyscrapers with an open plan.

Unfortunately this very ambitious way of building never succeded and today, the building is being demolished.

Eventhough the looks are slightly different, we are in a world of standardized architecture.

Nakagin Tower was built in 1972, designed by Kisho Kurokawa.

Content

Nakagin Tower was built based on the ideas formed in 1960 post-war Japan, the Metabolist Movement that Kurokawa was also a member of.

They were after the invention of a denser type of development, based on tower communities.

Metabolists believed our buildings should work just like trees, while certain parts are replacable, open for change - the rest would be permanent providing a structural frame and services for the impermanent plug in - plug out units.

Kikutake’s Tower in the Sea project was allowing only a certain number of residents to live in. After the tower was fully occupied, another one would be added, a new community would start.

The cities and buildings are not seen as permanent things subjected to be preserved in Japanese culture in contrast to the western understanding. Just like the Ise Shrine getting rebuilt the same way every 20 years,

He called the plots on his mega structure as artificial lands. The towers would not be owned by a single person and would belong to the public while the capsules are private and constantly changing.

Metabolists were after a constantly changing system that can be applied to the modern city.

Metabolist projects were highly political in this way, proposing completely a new way of building our cities.

All of their ideas were formed post war therefore they were looking for new ways of designing the

12

new cities since Japanese cities were destroyed with bombings.


Rebrief II

Kisho Kurokawa designed his capsules to have a lifespan of 20 years. After this time they were to be replaced by new designs. While the permanent steel core stays. His capsules were aged in 20 years but never got replaced.

Looking back to the very beginning of the formation of the city, we see in Catalhoyuk no streets existed. People used to access houses from their roof. Since I have been looking for new ways of forming an iconic residential project, as a new phase the project goes, I wanted to rebrief Catalhoyuk.
