Give more feedback Metabolism (メタボリズム, metaborizumu, also shinchintaisha (新陳代謝)) was a post-war Japanese architectural movement that fused ideas about architectural megastructures with those of organic biological growth. It had its first international exposure during CIAM's 1959 meeting and its ideas were tentatively tested by students from Kenzo Tange's MIT studio.
