Nakagin

A small publication about the Japanese Nakagin building, located in Tokyo, is printed on a risograph. Photos are black and white and with a small dot grid. The typography is custom-made, modified to give a technical impression, and has slight inktraps.

Most of the photos are focused on the detail of the building or building blocks which make the building so interesting. The building was built in 1972, in the style of Metabolism (which was popular in Japan).

Unfortunately this building no longer exists because it was demolished in 2022.

The building is known all over the world and is the inspiration for the Housing Tower in Belarus (Bobruisk) built in 1980.
