Kisho Kurokawa (1934–2007) was a Japanese architect and co-founder of Metabolism, a movement envisioning adaptable, organic urbanism that responded to rapid societal change. His most iconic work, the Nakagin Capsule Tower, exemplified his vision of modular, flexible architecture, allowing buildings to evolve over time. Later, he developed the concept of Symbiosis, integrating tradition with futuristic design, as seen in the National Art Center Tokyo and Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Kurokawa’s work blended technology with cultural continuity, redefining Japanese architecture. A prolific theorist, he promoted the coexistence of past and future, inspiring adaptive, sustainable architecture worldwide.
