Nakagin Capsule Tower
You've heard all about Japan's capsule hotels. Well, here's the very first capsule architecture, still fully intact and operational as offices and residential space in Shimbashi. Designed by Kisho Kurokawa, the Nakagin Capsule Tower was built between 1970 and 1972. Each of these little concrete 'boxes' is a fully self-contained unit, equipped with bed, tv/radio console, bathroom, and closet. (See more info on the construction).
I played around with composition in the frame to find the best angle and crop. I think this one is far less successful than the previous one.
