🇱🇾 Desert house by Kisho Kurokawa, Libya 1979. 🇯🇵 Kisho Kurokawa (1934 - 2007) was a leading Japanese architect and one of the founders of the Metabolist Movement, a post-war Japanese architectural movement that fused ideas about architectural megastructures with those of organic biological growth. In 1979, the government of Libya decided to embark on a plan for a new city in the desert, to house the workers and engineers of the oil fields and Bedouins of the region. This was planned for the Sarir region in Libya. Kurokawa was recruited for this project, and writes extensively about it in chapter seven of his book "EACH ONE A HERO-The Philosophy of Symbiosis.”
