The 3D Digital Archive Project was preserved the 3D data of "Nakagin Capsule Tower," one of the masterpieces of Metabolism architecture, as a memory of its cultural value before demolition begins. The complex shape of the building was recorded in three dimensions using 3D measurement technology, and the value of the architecture designed by Kisho Kurokawa will be passed on to future generations. In addition, the project aims to not only record the appearance of the building, but also to metabolize the architecture into an existence that transcends materiality as a digital space, and to expand new ways of utilizing architecture in the xR age.
