APRESENTAÇÃO O Metabolismo japonês: A cidade como processo de transformação e metamorfose Inês Valente de Abreu Novais Esta dissertação pretende reflectir sobre o primeiro movimento avant-garde não ocidental, que revolucionou o pensamento urbanístico e arquitectónico dos anos 60: o Movimento Metabolista. Num clima de optimismo e prosperidade que envolveu toda a nação, o grupo Metabolista uniu-se pelo objectivo comum de restaurar a imagem do seu país e encontrar um futuro para as cidades japonesas, após a devastação incontornável na sequência da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Como resposta à ineficácia dos métodos de planeamento contemporâneos e pela necessidade de encontrar novos modelos urbanos que acomodassem o futuro crescimento do Japão, o grupo Metabolista apresenta na Conferência Mundial de Design em Tokyo, o manifesto “Metabolism 1960: the Proposals for a New Urbanism”. Através de uma metáfora biológica e de um sistema regenerativo contínuo à escala da cidade, o Movimento Metabolista introduziu uma nova teoria urbana que associava os benefícios da tecnologia, aos valores da cultura e da tradição japonesa, numa nova estética moderna com capacidade de se adaptar e regenerar por meio de um processo de transformação e metamorfose da arquitectura. Palavras-chave: Planeamento urbano, Arquitectura Moderna Japonesa, Pós-guerra no Japão, Movimento Metabolista. PRESENTATION The japanese Metabolism: The city as a process of transformation and metamorphosis Inês Valente de Abreu Novais This dissertation aims to reflect about the first non-western avant-garde movement that revolutionized urban and architectural thinking of the 60’s: the Metabolist Movement. In an atmosphere of optimism and prosperity that involved the entire nation, the Metabolist group joined up by the common purpose of restoring the image of their country and finding a future for the japanese cities, after the overwhelming devastation that followed the Second World War. As a response to the ineffectiveness of contemporary planning methods and by the need of finding new urban models that could accommodate Japan’s future growth, the Metabolist group presented, at the World Design Conference in Tokyo, the manifesto "Metabolism 1960: Proposals for the New Urbanism". Through a biological metaphor and a continuous regenerative system on a city scale, the Metabolist Movement introduced a new urban theory that combined the benefits of technology, with the values of japanese culture and tradition, in a new modern aesthetic with the ability to adapt and regenerate through a process of architectural transformation and metamorphosis. Keywords: Urban Planning, Japanese Modern Architecture, Postwar Japan, Metabolist Movement.

They include two basic types: the ‘Floating Structure’ as a concentric and city-scale type, and the ‘Linear Ocean City’ as a linear and national-scale type. As part of an ongoing research on ‘Megastructure’ proposals by the ‘Metabolism’ group, the paper focuses on the ‘Floating Structure’ with floating horizontal plates, the ‘Floating Platform’, as one of the inventive examples of the ‘Megastructure’ and its ‘artificial land’. The three projects, which are based on the ‘Floating Platform’, are analyzed in order to illustrate the characteristics of Kikutake’s ‘Megastructure’ and its ‘artificial land’. Analyses are carried out for the support-relations of ‘Floating Platform’ and the interrelations among structural and spatial elements on the building scale, as well as for the support-relations among structural elements, the functional zoning, and growth patterns on the city scale. Through the analyses, an essential difference between Marine City Project, 1958 and the other two projects is found in accordance with their difference of scale and – based on it – a shift in Kikutake’s approach is discussed respectively.

  • Ritual Machine Vs. Technocratic Rationalism at Expo
    Incongruity, Bizarreness, and Transcendence: The Cultural/ Ritual Machine vs. Technocratic Rationalism at Expo ‘70 Scholarship on the Japanese Metabolist Movement generally points to the1970 World Exposition in Osaka as the climax of a nationally concerted effort to revi- talize Japan post-World War II.1 It has also been referred to the “grand swan- song of Metabolism, the final phase of the modern movement in Japan.”2 Ten years after a group of young Japanese architects and designers with ties to the architect/educator Kenzo Tange burst onto the international design scene with a hastily produced manifesto espousing a techno-organic approach to Japan’s urban density problems, Expo ’70 opened to 64 million visitors from across the globe.3 At the time Japan was a still-rising industrial hothouse, and an eco- nomic “miracle” second only to the United States in GNP. To the Japanese designers involved in its conception and realization, Expo ’70 was an opportunity MARCUS SHAFFER to return Japan to prominence on the world stage after defeat in World War II. Pennsylvania State University It was also an opportunity for Japanese culture-makers to differentiate Japanese modernization, contemporary values, and the Japanese way of life post-occupa- tion, from those of other nations that had fallen under western influence. They did this consciously through referencing Japanese aesthetic traditions and atti- tudes in their contemporized works, and through a unique form of assimilation that adopted foreign ideas or things (such as European Modernist architecture) and created suitably “Japanified” simulacrum. The Japanese were determined to show their pride in rebuilding after the firebombings, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki, through means that were culturally Japanese.

  • Nakagin Capsule Tower and the Metabolist Movement Revisited
    514 RE.Building Nakagin Capsule Tower and the Metabolist Movement Revisited ZHONGJIE LIN University of North Carolina at Charlotte INTRODUCTION In April 2007, a brief report on Architectural Re- cord’s online journal drew worldwide attention back to a building in Tokyo: Kisho Kurokawa’s Nakagin Capsule Tower will be demolished.1 This news as- tonished many readers because Nakagin building is not only an iconic work of Kurokawa and one of the masterpieces of postwar modern architec- ture in Japan, but more significantly, it represents a rare and arguably the finest built work resulting from the historic Metabolist movement. Completed in 1972, the building consists of two towers at elev- en and thirteen stories respectively as well as 144 capsules. Each capsule, in the size and shape of a shipping container, houses a residential unit that is clipped on the towers with flexible joints, showcas- ing the essential Metabolist idea of adaptability and replaceability. [Fig. 1] Fig. 1 Nakagin Capsule Tower, K. Kurokawa, 1972 Nakagin Capsule Tower has been listed as an ar- chitectural heritage by DoCoMoMo since 2006. Due to the lack of maintenance, however, the interior is at risk of being erased reminds architects and of the building is falling into disrepair. There is historians that it is an important part of the history also growing concerns among residents about the of modern architecture, and evokes appreciation of healthy issue of asbestos used on the capsules as its futuristic design concept and dynamic form.
