Ten Square Metres in Ginza

In 1972, Kisho Kurokawa built a tower in Ginza, Tokyo: 140 rooms of ten square metres, made in a factory, trucked in and hung on two concrete cores. He wanted the building to live like a tree, its rooms replaced as they aged. Fifty years later it was torn down, and its capsules flew out to San Francisco, New York and Hong Kong.
