An Introduction

Architect Kisho Kurokawa was very innovative in his creation of the Nakagin Capsule Tower in 1972, which was the first capsule architecture design. The module was created with the intention of housing traveling businessmen that worked in central Tokyo during the week. It is a prototype for architecture of sustainability and recycleability, as each module can be plugged in to the central core and replaced or exchanged when necessary.Built in the Ginza area of Tokyo, a total of 140 capsules are stacked and rotated at varying angles around a central core, standing 14-stories high. The technology developed by Kurokawa allowed each unit to be installed to the concrete core with only 4 high-tension bolts, which keeps the units replaceable. Each capsule measures 4 x 2.5 meters, permitting enough room for one person to live comfortably.

An Introduction

The Star Apartments near the centre of Los Angeles are not a luxury housing scheme, asthe name might suggest. They are dwellings for people of low income and who formerly belonged to the long-term homeless. Here, 102 dwelling units manufactured in Idaho and transported to the site by truck have been stacked in dynamic fashion up to six storeys in height.This construction is borne by a concrete deck supported by powerful piles that conduct the loads into the ground below. The piles penetrate a single-storey existing structure that the architects built over instead of demolishing. This former commercial structure is used by the new residents as well as people living in the neighbourhood.1

An Introduction

Housing Dwelling solution for a new demand of units in Singapore. The idea was to forget about the high rise building development as a way of designing high density and to translate the masive blocks from a rectangular spatial grid to a hexagonal matrix that supports each block and potentiates the creation of community spaces in lower and higher levels. This also increases the distances between buildings in order to give users a sense of privacy that other arrangement cannot and social layers in almost every level.
