I published a photobook 'Danchi Dreams' in 2018 that captured the massive Japanese apartment blocks from the same era as Nakagin. The apartment buildings, known as 'danchi', were constructed from the 1960s - 1980s to replace burnt-out cities and house a booming population. Though they might not be quite as spectacular as what the Metabolists dreamed up I think they shared a forward-looking vision for what the modern world could be. http://danchi-dreams.com/ http://danchi-dreams.com/
- DocTomoe 5y agoI was really excited seeing the images, and the book (japanese architecture old and new is something I geek out on), until I realized it's sold out.
- cody_ellingham 5y agoSorry! There was only a small run but I hope to do a second edition one day.
- frxx 5y agoI've known about your book for quite some time, though I don't own it. Nontheless, fantastic photography on the website!
