日本最初期のワンルームマンションとしての中銀カプセルタワービルの変遷に関する研究

抄録

Through analysing the history of the transition of the Nakagin Capsule Tower design by Kisyo Kurokawa, this paper gives a new understanding of the transformation of housing for one-person households and the challenges that so-called ‘one-room mansions’ in Japan may face in the future. The transition is explained from three features; utilisation, ownership and management. The relationship between the three features gradually separated, which eventually led to the decay of the building. Even after the owners’ association started to function, technical and legal challenges and the difficulties in settling the interests of the owners hinder taking effective measurements.
