In a unique fusion of play and architectural homage, industrial designer Oscar Diaz has created a wooden block set inspired by Tokyo’s iconic Nakagin Capsule Tower. Designed by renowned Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa, the Capsule Tower was a landmark in modular architecture, embodying Kurokawa’s vision of adaptability and renewal. Though the building was disassembled in 2022, Diaz brings its spirit back to life with this playful and artistic reinterpretation.
The set comprises 20 stackable wooden blocks and a hexagonal wooden base, encouraging endless combinations that mirror the modular nature of the original structure. Crafted from smooth beech wood and colored with water-based pigments, each block invites users to reimagine the avant-garde design of Kurokawa’s tower. As players stack the blocks, they engage in a delicate balancing act—a direct reflection of the tower’s structural equilibrium.
One of the set’s standout features is the inclusion of two red blocks, symbolizing key elements of the original building’s design. These red blocks must be placed last, adding an extra layer of challenge as they test the stability of the entire structure. The goal is not simply to build, but to maintain balance, simulating the precision and care that went into constructing the actual tower.
Each wooden block represents one of the tower’s capsules, complete with a round window that makes them instantly recognizable. Diaz’s design captures the spirit of Kurokawa’s philosophy, that there is no right or wrong way to stack the blocks, echoing the Japanese concept of renewal and impermanence that informed the Capsule Tower’s original design. The blocks can be configured in countless ways, and the resulting creation serves as a tactile, visual memento of this pioneering work of architecture.
The Nakagin Capsule Tower block set also offers hands-on learning for architects and interior designers to understand the principles of modular architecture. It provides an engaging, physical way to explore design concepts while offering a fun activity for others. Beyond its educational and playful value, the set is also a great piece of art to keep in your home. Its minimal, natural aesthetics seamlessly complement most, if not all, interior themes, allowing you to display your own version of the iconic tower.
Accompanied by a cotton bag for easy storage, the set is both a practical and playful tribute to the Nakagin Capsule Tower. For architecture enthusiasts and casual players alike, Oscar Diaz’s creation offers a hands-on way to explore the principles of modular design and keep alive the legacy of one of Tokyo’s most innovative buildings.
As the tech industry advances and it is appreciated, there is still something special about getting your hands dirty and working with physical materials. The Mola 4 Structural Kit, designed by Brazilian architect Márcio Sequeira de Oliveira, offers exactly that—a hands-on approach to learning that brings creativity, design, and structural engineering to life. By combining principles of structural mechanics with elements inspired by origami and folding techniques, this innovative kit provides aspiring architects, designers, and engineers with an interactive way to explore the relationship between form and function in a very real, tangible way.
For many students today, the overwhelming presence of technology can feel both empowering and confining. While sophisticated software unlocks endless possibilities, it can also constrain creativity by trapping ideas within the confines of a screen. The Mola 4 Kit fills this gap beautifully. It offers a tactile, hands-on experience, allowing users to experiment with structural forms and principles in the physical world. By literally building with your hands, you learn the why behind structural integrity—why certain forms stand tall while others collapse—a foundational skill for anyone passionate about architecture or engineering.
The Mola 4 Kit contains 145 meticulously designed modular parts and a detailed instruction manual to guide users. The components—springs, magnets, and pre-marked sheets—can be customized with materials such as cardboard, EVA, acrylic, or even 3D-printed elements. This versatile system allows users to build intricate, small-scale models of famous architectural marvels, such as Pier Luigi Nervi’s Palazzetto Dello Sport, Félix Candela’s Los Manantiales Restaurant, Álvaro Siza Vieira’s Expo’98 Portuguese National Pavilion, and London’s Millennium Dome. The kit essentially merges LEGO’s playful versatility with Apple’s sleek, user-friendly design, making it engaging and accessible to anyone, regardless of prior technical knowledge.
What truly sets the Mola 4 Kit apart is its capacity for creative exploration. It enables users to design, construct, and customize hundreds of unique architectural forms using modular parts, effectively opening up a world of architectural possibilities. Whether you’re a student or a seasoned professional, the kit transforms abstract theory into hands-on learning, letting users experiment with real-world concepts of structure and stability in a fun, dynamic way.
But don’t be fooled by its playful appearance—Mola 4 is a serious learning tool. It provides a gateway to the complex world of structural engineering, helping to demystify structural behavior and deepen the user’s understanding of both basic and advanced theoretical concepts. This tangible approach is essential for bridging the gap between civil engineering and architectural studies, bringing theory to life in a way that no textbook or software can replicate.
Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the Mola 4 Kit is its ability to offer a three-dimensional learning experience that digital technology simply cannot match. Engaging with physical components activates both the mind and senses, creating “intuitively playful moments of delight” that digital interfaces often lack. The kit encourages users to step away from their screens and into a world of hands-on experimentation that is as informative as it is enjoyable.
Apple introduced some major repairability improvements with the iPhone 16 lineup, but nothing stands out as much as the new battery removal process for the base iPhone 16. Doing away with the usual pull tabs, Apple is using an adhesive that debonds in response to a low electrical current. It only takes about a minute and a half for it to come unstuck, per Apple’s repair guide. A teardown by iFixit shows the process in action, and it sure looks easier than ever. iFixit tech Shahram Mokhtari said, “I’m not sure we’ve ever had a battery removal process go so cleanly and smoothly.”
Only the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus have the new adhesive, and they’ve earned a 7/10 on iFixit’s repairability scale. “Apple definitely seems to be leveling up on repairability,” Mokhtari, adding Apple has “landed another repairability win” with this year’s base iPhones thanks to the new battery removal procedure.
