| Abstract |
This study aimed to explore the evolution of the metabolic cycle concept within Japanese Metabolism's architectural and urban planning
frameworks. Chapter 2 delved into the theoretical underpinnings of the Metabolism movement and the metabolic cycle concept, while Chapter
3 examined the contextual factors shaping this concept. In Chapter 4, an analysis was conducted on the integration of the metabolic cycle
concept into Japanese Metabolism's architectural and urban planning endeavors. Ultimately, Japanese Metabolism sought to address the
dynamic challenges of design and post-construction changes by combining permanent structures and units with diverse metabolic cycles,
drawing from traditional Japanese thought and architecture to achieve a harmonious overall composition. |
