#FensterFreitag

The porthole window of a modular unit from Japan’s now-demolished Nagakin Capsule Tower, on display at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. Built in 1972, the tower was a radical experiment in urban living, consisting of prefabricated micro-dwellings that were attached to central cores and could (in theory) be replaced and rearranged as needed. More information and photos in the link in the comments.

@bboyg I didn’t really know about it until I saw this exhibit. Wish I could have seen it back in the day!

“Capsule Tower” reminds me of Akira Toriyama’s “Capsule Corp” in DragonBall 😅
Pre-fab cars and homes, ready out of the box 💪🏻

I enjoy the primary colors. I have yet to frame a shot with red, blue and yellow in the same scene.
