Modeling the Tokyo building hated by its own architect

There's a building in Setagaya designed by legendary architect Kengo Kuma, but it's known as one of the ugliest buildings in the world. Sounds like the perfect place for me to go check out and 3d model!
Software I used:
Crocotile 3D - www.crocotile3d...
Blender - www.blender.org/

I love the model, always hated the building. After such a concrete nightmare it would be evil to recommend another but my mind was taken to 'New Sky Building 3' in Shinjuku. What is it with Tokyo and hideous concrete hellscape buildings?

@@thewheezingdead I think I just like things that are a bit weird. Brings a nice twist to my day when I see it. Now THAT’S a good recommendation! I don’t think I’ve seen it before. Reminds me of the Nakagin Capsule Tower in some way combined with the Kowloon Walled City 😮

​@@captkusoThe spirit of humanity resided in Kowloon Walled City. (cool vid!)

@@captkuso Pretty sure New Sky Building 3 and Nakagin Capsule Tower are the same architect. I like some of the weird buildings in Tokyo, I worked in the Fuji Broadcasting Centre for a while, and in my first stint in Tokyo would pass the Yasuyo Building everyday and I love them both are the two that spring to mind.

@@thewheezingdead The Yasuyo building is actually already on my list of places to check out! Unsure if it would be an entertaining build though 🤔 Idk even the more mundane stuff I like quite a lot. I was a Tesco home delivery driver for a while in the UK, and the number of identical housing estates I went to was mind numbing; walking down the street here and every home being unique and reflecting its owner in some way feels like paradise to me next to that.

@@captkuso I get it completely. I'm just a country boy at heart, despite having moved to Tokyo twice and Fukuoka. The city's and the concrete just take the life from me. If I was heading back to Japan I'd live to be back at the foot of Mount Izuna again. Nagano feels like home in Japan to me.
