Metabolic space in a high-density urban arena
Traditional Japanese architecture has been seen as “architecture of walls”, and the flexibility of space framed by moving sho-ji walls are the defining architectural elements. Shibuya P.W.C combines the modularity in modern Japanese Metabolism architecture in 1960s and its culture of wall and creates a 12-story structure with pistons(infrastructure), moving sho-ji walls (thresholds), and chambers(territory) to constantly configure into spatial conditions for different activities.
