The decaying old buildings are still standing. The mould and algae resembles chinese ink on paper. The grainy expired film added to the discoloration.

The building lives on.

The Tokyo structure’s dismantling in 2022 saw a number of its capsules repurposed globally – even at Hong Kong’s M+ – fulfilling designer Kisho Kurokawa’s vision.

Almost like the dystopian kowloon walled city. This block of public housing near mertajam has unique tall corridors connecting to split levels which is unseen in new flats now.
