The year is 2023 and outdoor air quality has been compromised by nuclear radiation. This makes normative life for humans difficult. A solution to take back the outside spaces is realized with the Garden Capsule. This system can be retrofitted to existing DANCHI (apartment buildings). It will provide not only protection to from outside extremes but give buildings new vivacity and character. The capsule gives the occupant a new escape from the entrapment that the world and Japan now faces. This system has a skin that features hydroponic plantings so that living can be sustained thru urban farming. Life and health is restored.
