A country would you like to visit.

 Hey there!

What´s up? Well, this is my first blog ever, so I really don’t know how to start, but I guess I’ll go straight to the topic. If I had the money, I really would like to go to Japan. Not for "weeb" interests, although I’ve seen like 2-3 animes in my life, but because I really love Japanese architecture.

From classic imperial architecture to the most modern architecture, the ideas, and designs that are developed are so interesting for me. For example, the Metabolism in the 70s was an architectural movement that mixed assembling megastructures with the idea of organic growth. All with the purpose to create a new kind of society, where the house could be moved anywhere, like a car.

Sadly, most of these projects were never built. And the projects that were built, are in danger of being demolished. One of the most famous Metabolist buildings is The Nakagin Capsule Tower in Tokyo (I let an image of the building below). I would really like to go to see it before it goes. Honestly, if I could go to Japan I would like to do a kind of “architecture tour” to see all the buildings and landscapes that I studied.

I really don’t know if I would like to live in Japan, mostly because of the idiomatic barrier, but if I would have the opportunity to study Japanese, architecture, or both, I would accept without a doubt.
