		Above all else the exhibition is about Kurokawa’s unrelenting passion and thoughts on architecture fused with his philosophical ideas — and in particular his philosophy of symbiosis which has established him as one of the world’s leading thinkers on architecture.
		From as early as 1959 Kisho Kurokawa was putting forward a new architectural paradigm which envisaged cities and architecture as organisms capable of growth and change.
		Kurokawa argues that we have moved inexorably from an architectural culture based on the Modernists’ commitment to the Machine, to a new epoch which he calls the ‘Age of Life’.

	On History and Paradise: Kurokawa and Venturi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		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).

		Kisho Kurokawa's Nakagin Capsule Tower of 1970 in Tokyo is often cited as setting the right, miniaturised example.
		Kurokawa's idea was to provide Japanese employees with capsules in town additional to their homes in the country.
		Kurokawa more accurately recognises that his pursuit of what he calls a 'philosophy of symbiosis' has been elaborated through the rise and transformation of environmentalism, particularly since the mid 1980s.

		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.

	Kuala Lumpur Airport
		The Malaysian government looked to Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa (working with local architect Akitek Jururancang) to design a new airport, joining those in fellow Asian cities Hong Kong (Norman Foster) and Kansai (Renzo Piano) with likewise strong designs.
		Kurokawa utilizes repetitious structural bays in two symmetrical terminals, national and international, symmetrical to each other as well.
		If this likeness is intentional only Kurokawa knows, but with Malysia's lack of a national architectural style or symbolic vocabulary the architect probably looked elsewhere for inspiration.

		Leading Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa has strengthened his international presence with the creation of a homepage on the World Wide Web.
		Kurokawa's Web site reflects his understanding of the Internet as a means of communication and a potential source of business.
		He approaches these changes from a series of perspectives that focus on the shift from Eurocentrism to cultural pluralism, from anthropocentrism to global ecology, from an industrial to an information society, from universalism to diversity, and from the age of the machine to the age of the life principle.

	Tokyo - The Nakagin Capsule Tower by Kisho Kurokawa - Europaconcorsi
		Kurokawa developed the technology to install the capsule units into the concrete core with only 4 high-tension bolts, as well as making the units detachable and replaceable.
		The one-man-room capsule, a modified (4 x 2.5 meter) shipping container, has a circular window, a built-in bed and bathroom unit, and is complete with TV, radio and alarm clock.
		Kurokawa's design theory was to replace the capsules when needed but the building has not been maintained in 33 years which has caused drainage and water pipes to be damaged.

	what are we reading?
		This quote comes in the last chapter of Kurokawa's philosophical treatise, though by this time the reader is well aware of the author's will.
		His philosophy is not merely a reaction to western dualism as much as it is a proponent of the symbiotic ideals: pluralism, cultural diversity and appreciation, ecology, and what Kurokawa calls a shift to the age of life principle.
		This symbiosis is based on the philosophy of Consciousness Only, a major support of Mahayana Buddhism which occupies an important place for Japan, and naturally for the author.
