very night in Tokyo, the few remaining residents of the ENakagin Capsule Tower bed down to sleep in the once-futuristic white pods they call home. Unlike the tiny, coffin-like cabins of Japan’s numerous capsule hotels, where office workers who have missed the last train can catch a few hours’ sleep, the 140 units at Nakagin rep- resent a special part of the history of architecture, and one that is worth protecting against plans to tear it down, say campaigners. “We’re going to collect donations from all over the world. We’re trying to buy each capsule one by one. Each room counts as one vote, to decide what to do,” said Masato Abe, founder of the Save Nakagin Capsule Tower Project. The funky-looking tower, designed by architect Kisho Kurokawa in 1972, appeared as a Japanese love hotel in 2013 blockbuster The Wolverine star- ring Hugh Jackman. In real life, around half of the cap- sules are currently in use as second homes, offices and art studios, but some 20 of the tiny spaces are full- time homes. A bed, fold-out desk and even a Architectural bathroom unit are squeezed into the boxes, which have a floor space of just 10 square metres (108 square feet). The compact rooms’ large round window and in-built ‘70s features such as retro clocks and sound sys- history in tiny tems give them the appearance of being suspended in yesteryear’s vision of the future. Portuguese architects Ana Luisa Soares and Filipe Magalhães, who shared a capsule for one year, said Tokyo capsules it was “amazing” to live in Tokyo’s Shimbashi district, a crowded part of town that throbs with late-night noise.

However, the building’s deteriorat- ing state did not make for an easy life. “The capsules’ asbestos insulation wasn’t really working anymore, so dur- ing the winter it was really cold, and during the summer really hot,” they said.

Corroding pipes, serious water dam- age and an uncertain future mean half the capsules have been left to rot by their owners, who would rather see the tower demolished and reap the profits of a brand new apartment building. Yet the wrecking ball can only come out if at least 80 percent of owners vote for demolition, said Tatsuyuki Maeda, petition and Kurokawa’s own nego- “There are still talks about demoli- Template for a ‘happier life’ who owns seven capsules that he is tiations with the Nakagin real estate tion,” but Kurokawa’s office are also In the meantime, various projects refurbishing at weekends with plans company to save his building. discussing a “large-scale repair” of the are giving the tower a new lease on life. to let them out.

Christian Dimmer, professor of Urbanism at Tokyo University said Kurokawa’s tower is an example of architecture from the post-war Metabolist movement, which aimed to create sustainable, renewable liv- ing spaces that people could take with them if they moved. The capsules were designed to be individually removed and replaced every 25 years, although that didn’t happen. “The zeitgeist of metabolism is fro- zen, literally encapsulated in this build- ing,” he said. It is hard to raise public awareness about the preservation of historic buildings in Japan, where buildings are usually torn down and replaced after 30 years, he said. If it can’t be preserved through the crowdfunding campaign set up by Masato Abe, Dimmer suggests the tower could be taken apart and the capsules sent around the world to honour Kurokawa’s Metabolist ideals. It could serve as a template for how to “live more compactly, more sustain- ably and have a happy life with less,” he said. AFP 4 PLUS | THURSDAY 2 OCTOBER 2014 CAMPUS

Scorpion venom to fight brain cancer

cientists have received approval from the US SFood and Drug Administration (FDA) to use “Tumour Paint”, a product derived from scorpion venom for study in human trials in the US, in an effort to treat people suffering from brain cancer. During the phase one trial, “Tumour Paint” will be used on an estimated 21 people with a gli- oma, or tumour in the brain or spine, ABCNews. com reported. The product was developed by US-based Blaze Bioscience, a company dedicated to developing products that assist physicians in their quest to improve the lives of cancer patients. “Tumour Paint” is designed to “provide real- time, high-resolution intra-operative visualisa- tion of cancer cells, enabling better detection and more complete and precise surgical removal of cancer”. It is created by utilising a protein derived from Novo Nordisk’s next big idea: the paralysing venom of an Israeli death-stalker scorpion. The re-engineered protein, which binds to cancer cells, is then joined with a fluorescent A once-weekly insulin shot molecule “flashlight” that has been used safely in human surgeries for decades. “It is really hard to get molecules into the brain due to the blood-brain barrier,” Jim Olsen, a brain cancer specialist at the Seattle Children’s Hospital who developed the product, was quoted as saying. “Most drugs that are made by the drug com- panies cannot penetrate that barrier.

And, just like in a crossword, some of the dark cells will contain numbers. Some cells will contain two numbers. However, in a crossword the numbers reference clues. In a kakuro, the numbers are all you get! They denote the total of the digits in the row or column referenced by the number. Within each collection of cells - called a run - any of the numbers 1 to 9 may be used but, like sudoku, each number may only be used once.
