Metabolist Manifesto

The Metabolist Manifesto, developed in the 1960s by a group of Japanese architects, proposed designing cities and buildings that are flexible, adaptable, and sustainable by integrating growth and change into urban planning. They envisioned urban environments as living systems that could evolve over time, with modular, interconnected structures that could be expanded or reconfigured as needs change. This approach challenged traditional static cityscapes, emphasizing dynamic, organic development to create resilient and future-proof urban spaces.
