The Nakagin Capsule Tower in Tokyo's Ginza area may not look so impressive at first sight, but it is a landmark of metabolist architecture. Built by Kurokawa Kisho in 1972, it consists of dozens of prefabricated boxes fixed to a central staircase. Today the tower is in a state of disrepair but still inhabited. It is not possible to visit the inside.
