Metabolism Tokyo (1960)

Metabolism was the Japanese architectural movement that proposed cities as living organisms — permanent megastructure trunks carrying interchangeable capsule cells that grow, shed, and regenerate. Launched at the 1960 World Design Conference in Tokyo, the group's visual language is rooted in technical drafting: axonometric projections, cross-section diagrams, and modular grids rendered in blueprint blue ink on drafting paper.

This design system captures that drafting-table precision — blueprint grounds, capsule-red accents, mono-spaced annotation labels, and zero-radius geometries that treat every surface as an architectural diagram waiting to be built.

新陳代謝（メタボリズム）是1960年东京世界设计大会上诞生的日本建筑运动，主张城市如同活的有机体——永久性巨构骨架承载着可拆卸、可更换、可生长的「细胞」模块。丹下健三、黑川紀章、菊竹清训、槙文彦等人以轴测图、剖面图和模块网格构成了一套技术制图美学。

本设计系统复现那种蓝图桌上的精密感：深蓝底色如氰版印刷，中银胶囊塔标志性的红色点缀其间，等宽字体标注组件编号，所有圆角趋近于零——每一个界面都是一张待建造的建筑图纸。
