Nakagin Capsule Tower

I won’t argue the aesthetics or the historic importance of the architecture. I will argue from seeing it in person with a lot of nets and a lot of make shift methods of covering up the corrosion as to why the place should lowly be condemned and torn down.
The place really looks pretty terrible and age had not been kind to it. From what I could see of the super-​structure, it looks like imminent failure will occur if a moderate earthquake were to occur. If the super-​structure looks rough, I’d hate to see the sub-​structure and and ancillary support systems.
It’s a shame there are REALY limited views and no admittance to the building aside from booking six months to a year in advance to stay in a room through Airbnb. Overall a bit of a disappointment. Again, not knocking it’s historic significance, just calling out the obvious here.
