Nakagin Capsule Tower Building

From the cross section in front of Hama Rikyu Gardens, you can see unique looking building.
It looks like piled up drum type washing machines.
This is condominium with many cubes with round windows designed by Kisho Kurokawa.

This condominium has some problems in safety like aging and harmful materials since it's built in 1972. Each cube can be replaced by the concept of design, but 80% agreement of residents is required to rebuild the condominium.
