This book chronicles the rise of Metabolism, Japan's first non-Western avant-garde architectural movement, launched in Tokyo in 1960. It delves into the nation's post-war reconstruction and subsequent architectural innovations that reshaped the country and influenced global aesthetics. The narrative traces the movement's origins from Manchuria's reconstruction to its zenith at Expo '70 in Osaka. It highlights the collaborative spirit between architects, a creative bureaucracy, and an activist state that propelled Japan's transformation. The work presents architecture as a public endeavor during a pivotal era.
