		Immediately after handing in her final exam on Friday of the same week, Kurokawa was on a plane bound for London and spent the next four weeks, “Literally walking the pavement and campaigning with the ideologically devoted, little old ladies,” she recalls, playing a part in research and advocacy, leading to the campaign’s ultimate success.

	On History and Paradise: Kurokawa and Venturi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		It is my argument that Kurokawa and Venturi differ in both their response to architectural history and in their perception of the architect as a social reformer.
		The prevailing idea among Kurokawa and his fellow metabolists is that prefabrication allows the individual to select a composite of readymade components to transform into a unique whole: "each space should be a highly independent shelter where the inhabitant can fully develop his individuality" (Kurokawa 16).
		Such individualism flies in the face of traditional familial structures, and Kurokawa is conscious of this: "The housing unit based on a married couple will disintegrate, and the family relationships between a couple, parents and children will be expressed in terms of the state of docking many capsules of individuals' spaces" (16-17).

		Kurokawa was a founder-member of METABOLISM in 1960 and contributed significantly to the Metabolist manifesto.
		He proved to be the most radical designer of the movement, promoting an architecture that used technologically advanced plug-in modules and clip-on capsule units suspended from a frame, which he felt would accommodate and represent elements of growth and change, a concept that underlined Metabolist theory.
		The most significant and representative examples of Kurokawa’s Metabolist architecture, however, remain the Nakagin Capsule Tower (1972), a studio flats complex in Tokyo, and the Sony Tower (1976), a showroom facility in Osaka.
