You have certainly converted me into a fan of this tower Gediminas! Love this series, btw :)

Welcome to the Church of metabilism. Please start blasting 80's City Pop as you pray 🙏

Again, I'm blown away by this content and project! Well done- keep going!!

[@geddan]

Very happy to hear it! Will keep at it~

Cool vid! The interesting thing to me is that the 'modular' bathroom concept used in the tower lived on - these kinds of bathrooms were used in hotels and student dorms too, places where each bathroom does not need to be different.

[@geddan]

Yea, the metabolist movement brought in a lot of cool designs and optimisations that were later built upon throughout modernism

The stache suits you!

Best washing machine colony i did ever seen, =^.^=

I think that the 3d tower has a good potential for survival/horror games.

[@geddan]

Don't want to make it into a game though - just a place for people to hang out :)

[@pandelik3450]

The fact that they kept the shower area separated from the tub area even in this tiny space is insanely commited.

Hi Gediminas, this is such cool project. I already heard of the tower in a lecture but it was only a sidenote. I did'nt really grasped the whole thing. Especially the thought-out details in the bathroom.. I'll check out you channel to not miss the 'game', wanna be part of hang out space!

[@geddan]

Happy to shine light on this awesome building :)

Hi Geddan, I’m very impressed by your vision and progress on this project, and look forward to seeing it develop. I have a whole tower application underway too, the target being a single user VR environment, though I have vague ideas about having a flat screen version. The idea is to show something of how the building and capsules changed between 1972 and 2022. Though I am having to learn the skills I need from scratch, so it is slow progress!

[@geddan]

Happy to see likeminded people! :)

Hello! I'm doing research about this capsule and Kenzo Tange's Metabolic Cities. Where can I find your take on the project? I'd love to learn more about it

[@geddan]

There are a few videos about it on my educational channel. For example this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpWsnn-lo5WBZpY . Also next video on that channel will be about nakagin capsule tower as well :)
