This book investigates the architectural, product design, and urban
typology of the capsule which, beginning in the 1960s, broadened
the concept of the basic building blocks of architecture to include
a minimal living unit, called the "capsule." Here it is presented
with regard to the continuity of the development of the Modern
Movement, its revisionist criticism, pioneering examples, as well
as contemporary examples and uses. The typology of the capsule
allows us to consider this theme in terms of the architecture of
resistance, with the potential to search for an "other"
architecture that is embedded in our contemporaneity (manifested in
small dwellings, composite structures, and container units;
shelters and mobile homes in nature and the urban environment;
technology transfer in high-tech designs; devices, additions, and
extensions etc.). The concept of the capsule as a building element
of architecture, as well as a spatial element, can therefore be
regarded as having a generative potential for an architecture of
personal space for the individual, forcing us to reflect on our
existing living and dwelling conditions.
