Week 13 - Nagasaki Capsule Inspiration

This hotel (and the one in New York) show examples of people being able to live in small and confined spaces. Whilst this example is obviously above ground, the concept can still apply to the underground car park living.

small confined rooms, yet people will happily stay there for the night or a few. People in the underground will have a lot more space and will be able to change it to suit them. They will actually 'own' the spaces, be able to walk in them, and live similar to how they use to, when they were above ground. 

It seems unusual that people are willing to sleep in public type areas with other people less than two metres away. I suppose in such confined living cities like Tokyo  people would just come to expect it. 

Very unique looking building. Whilst the community will be underground, there will still be a very unusual aspect to it and theoretically it would be similar, because people within both would be living in what are basically concrete cubes.
