METABOLISM- Metabolism can be defined as the sum of the physical and chemical changes and
processes that take place in the human body in order to break down the food, generate energy
and create complex molecules for human’s cell growth.
PHILOSOPHY- This cell growth would help the human body to function normally, grow healthy
and sustain itself. Metaphorically, Metabolists believed that contemporary architecture should
be changeable to meet the rapidly changing requirements, as well as reflect the human
dynamic reality. However, similar to the changes that take place in the human body, buildings
should be mechanized in almost a biological way in order to continue in the present and be
adapted to the rapidly growing and developed technology in the future.
