La evolución del concepto de la ciudad en el vanguardismo ruso con la implementación de las
tecnologías cosmicas, generaba nuevas visiones utópicas. Mito y tecnología se aliaron de la mano de pensadores
y arquitectos para convertir la ciudad celestial anunciada hace 450 años por Campanella, en el escenario
real de una humanidad igualitaria y feliz, que explora territorios artificiales, elevados sobre la Tierra. Tal es la
ciudad cósmica de Gregory Krúticov.

RESUMEN Este artículo trata de poner de relieve una de las edificaciones más distintivas del movimiento metabolista Japonés: la torre Nakagin del arquitecto nipón Noriaki Kisho Kurokawa, seleccionada desde 1977 por el DOCOMOMO para formar parte de los edificios modernos Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad. Es uno de los pocos ejemplos construidos de una corriente cuyas principales propuestas subsistieron únicamente en el plano teórico. Tras el disfraz de la metáfora biológica, constituye una nueva adaptación del árbol como contenedor residencial y una atractiva versión del refugio moderno de los 70. Sus habitáculos-cápsula, individuales, perfectamente equipados, y sobre todo reemplazables, han superado con creces el tiempo previsto para su recambio, degradándose notablemente. Analizar las claves en que se concibió puede establecer las pautas para su mantenimiento o las alternativas de reutilización de un edificio desahuciado por inquilinos e instituciones. ABSTRACT This article attempts to highlight one of the most distinctive buildings of the Japanese metabolism movement: Nakagin Tower by Japanese architect Noriaki Kisho Kurokawa, selected since 1977 by the DOCOMOMO to be part of modern buildings Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It is one of the few built examples of a current whose major proposals survived only in theory. Behind its biological metaphor disguise, it is an adaptation of the tree as a residential container and an attractive version of the 70 modern haven. Their fully equipped individual and replaceable living-caps, have exceeded the allotted time for replacement, and are significantly degraded. Analyze the keys of its conception can help to establish guidelines for maintenance and reuse alternatives of a building evicted by tenants and institutions. LA TORRE NAKAGIN. EL HÁBITAT PENSADO COMO ELECTRODOMÉSTICO

20th Century relegated the residential fabric as anonymous structure without referring to any particular type of building, and gave birth to a new architectural category: the Superblock, in the words of Colquhoun; so adopting the form par excellence of the modern movement, the free-standing prism. It was responsible for the morphology of the urban peripheries, consisting of extensive areas where these abstract housing towers emerge. From representing the virtues of hygiene, rationality and life in contact with nature in the 1950s, they went to captain the catalogue of the worst defects in the 60s and 70s: social isolation, the destruction of the human scale, the dissatisfaction of its inhabitants and the imposition of a social class to another, forever partners to this building typology.
This communication examines some events that may explain how the discrediting of certain forms of accommodation was reached through specific articles: Mumford, Jencks, Colquhoun o Banham among others, along with some tales of fiction by Fleming and Ballard. On the one hand the attacks of the critics, whose objective was to dethrone a boring Modern Movement already outdated and, at the same time, bury the sacred cows of the architecture, and on the other a fictionalized press that found on the architects the ultimate responsible of a social and economic crisis, making them the villains of the piece, and on their residential structures the allegory of the effects of the inhumanity of modern life. All of them helped to bring down the Towers of Babel that became the great home container, condemning the symbolic status of its form, and it took the social attack, derived mainly from the dissatisfaction of certain conditions of life, like a biblical curse.
