Agricultural City Plan




Design:1960

Design Concept

Natural growth of the agricultural city is provided by a grid system of streets containing the utility pipes underneath.While each of the square units composed of several households is autonomous, linking these units together creates a village.The living units multiply spontaneously without any hierarchy, gradually bringing the village into being as the traditional rural settlement has developed throughout Japanese history.

*Exhibited at the “Visionary Architecture” exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1961
