After analysing the two movements we learn that Superdutch is more diverse than expected, and is not specifically a movement, but more so a group of different architects with different beliefs that are labelled as a group. The two movements did however have a lot in common in the way they were created and the beliefs they had. Both consist of a group of younger architects that try to tackle problems in their countries like the lack of space and the stagnation of architecture. After this we came to the conclusion that Metabolism did not specifically have any influence on Superdutch but more so on the individual architects within this group. Take MVRDV for example, this architectural firm has a lot of overlap with Metabolism in its beliefs and standpoints, and their architecture therefore also tries to tackle some of the same problems. This overlap can also be seen in their architecture, which often has a lot in common with Metabolist architecture. But not all Superdutch architects have taken this inspiration and influence from Metabolism.
