Kisho Kurokawa 1934 - 2007

Kisho Kurokawa died on 12th October 2007 in Tokyo due to heart failure. Kisho Kurokawa was a well-known Japanese architect and one of the founders of the Metabolist Movement.

He is the architect for my country’s main airport – the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, and further down south, Kisho Kurokawa Architects & Associates, Tokyo, together with DP Architects Pte Ltd Singapore are collaborating on the soon to be complete Singapore Flyer.

He will always be remembered for his trademark design – the Nakagin Capsule Tower, the tower had a date with the wrecking ball.

KLIA - Kuala Lumpuer International Airport Concept

My friends Mr.Ben and Ms.Marisa email me this picture of a column structure in KLIA, short for Kuala International Airport. Both of them thinks that it resemble something… you know… that thing… if you’re 18 and above click here.

Anyway, KLIA was designed by Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa. The airport was designed using the concept of Airport in the forest, forest in the airport, in which it is surrounded by green space, and the column (image above) suppose to resemble a palm tree. Mr.Ben and Ms.Marisa are both dirty minded, come on, Kisho Kurokawa design that two ball like thing to resemble fruit of oil palm tree and it also double as a mechanical ventilation system.

Mr.Ben, why do you keep photos of me in your wallet? and stop watching that pirated Brokeback Mountain DVD. You can have this picture of me half naked, and please, don’t stare at my tits, its gonna shoot laser at you!
