Metabolist Movement(Metabolist School of Architecture) In 1959 a group of Japanese architects and city planners joined forces under the name 'the Metabolists'. Their vision of a city of the future inhabited by a mass society was characterised by large scale, flexible and extendable structures that enable an organic growth process. In their view the traditional laws of form and function were obsolete. They believed that the laws of space and functional transformation held the future for society and culture. Famous projects included the floating city in the sea (Unabara project), K. Kikutake's tower city, the wall city, the agricultural city and the 'Helix City' by Kisho Kurokawa.
