This new edition expands Zhongjie Lin's pathbreaking account on Tange and Metabolism centered at the intersection of urbanism and utopianism. The thorough historical survey, from Metabolism's inauguration at the 1960 World Design Conference to the apex of the movement at Expo' 70 and further to the demolition of Nakagin Capsule Tower, leads to a definition of three Metabolist urban paradigms - megastructure, group form, and ruins - which continue to inspire experiments in architecture, city design, and conservation.
