Metabolism

Metaborizumu, (新陳代謝) was a post-war Japanese biomimetic architectural movement that fused ideas about architectural megastructures with those of organic biological growth.

This three-piece T-Shirt collection pays tribute to the Japanese movement of the late 1950s and bear graphics symbolising key concepts like the Space Frame, signifying adaptable structures and metamorphosis, representing the evolution of cities, and advocating for dynamic urban spaces.

Each design reflects the movement’s vision of cities as organic evolving entities, with a focus on sustainability through ‘Better Obsolescence’—the smart decline of the old, making way for rebirth.

This capsule collection is a wearable manifesto calling for a harmonious balance between the durable and the ephemeral in urban design.
