Pink Tentacle posted a collection of photos documenting Japan’s ‘tetrapod beaches.’ It’s a curious engineering of the environment that overwhelms the natural beauty of the coast with a Utopian repetitiveness of form. Yet, the form, scale and patterns of the tetrapods somehow come together to create a new, if utterly urban aesthetic. I once saw some similar structures in the Western Korean town of Mallipo, but on a much smaller scale.
