Kurokawa was a pioneer of the Japanese Metabolist Movement in architecture, where a city is viewed as a living organism and that architecture in turn must reflect this state as an evolving entity constantly in flux.  This multi-media publication acts as a visual scrapbook with dynamic graphics and imagery showing constructions of the Expo pavilions. In addition a graphic poster and a vinyl record with 'Music for Living' reflects Kurokawa's radical holistic approach. Kurokawa's work would later be influential to the practice of Archigram as well as geodesic architecture.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tenderbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64771576430969,"sku":null,"price":1200.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0488\/8029\/files\/Tenderbooks_327cc312-e040-4bc5-b7f3-5c4787716eb6.jpg?v=1790953081","url":"https:\/\/tenderbooks.co.uk\/products\/metabolism","provider":"Tenderbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
