Bad news on the architectural front in Tokyo. According to Architectural Record, Kisho Kurokawa’s cubic creation, built in 1972, will cease to exist in the high rent Ginza neighborhood. The interior design gives it such a dated yet idealistic expectation for the future. It’s unfortunate that some of these individual units can’t be extracted as architectural artifacts, particularly since there’s a trend to create tiny, customized houses such as Tumbleweeds.
