KETC | Living St. Louis | Metabolic City

From KETC, LIVING ST. LOUIS Producer Patrick Murphy visits the Metabolic City exhibit at the Kemper Art Museum. The exhibit features the work of a group of mainly European and Japanese architects and artists, known as the Metabolists, from the 1950s and 1960s that featured designs that focused on the cities as more than just buildings and infrastructure, but as organisms with their own lives. While these designs were never built, the works provide a window to a time when the future was uncertain and the past—in the form of World War II—was very real.
