Metabolist Group

The Metabolist Group was a Japanese architectural movement from the 1960s that focused on designing flexible, innovative cities and buildings. They believed architecture should adapt to changing needs and incorporate new technology, often envisioning large-scale, modular structures that could grow or evolve over time. Their ideas aimed to address urbanization challenges and promote sustainable, functional living spaces. Notable members include Kenzo Tange, who integrated these concepts into urban planning and iconic structures. Overall, the group emphasized dynamic, futuristic architecture that embraced change and integrated human life with technological progress.
