One of today’s best-known Japanese architects,
Sou Fujimoto (1971) graduated in Architecture
from the Faculty of Engineering, University of
Tokyo in 1994.
The majority of his work (initially projects for
small spaces) is located in Japan, where he
founded Sou Fujimoto Architects in 2000.

He gained recognition some years later, when he won the
Architectural Review award for emerging architecture 3
years in a row. Fujimoto lectures at the Universities of Tokyo,
Kyoto and Minato (Keio University).
Growing up on the Japanese island of Hokkaido, from
childhood he explored the mountains and forests of Hokkaido
island which engendered his interest in the natural world
from an early age.
His lecture at the Architectural League of New York (2014)
entitled “Between Nature and Architecture” defined the
fundamental principles of his theoretical reflections. Inspired
by organic and natural structures such as forests and caves,
Fujimoto draws inspiration from these for an “ambiguous
interpretation of space and form”, in a design philosophy
defined as "primitive future".

In particular, for Fujimoto the cave represents “a
raw space where function was determined based
on human behavior" (R. Cole) and, more
generally, in the complexity of the natural
environment, “we inject our human sense of order
(and vice versa), carrying forward a new definition
of space which responds to the changing times”

Another significant experience, confirmed by the architect
himself during the /nvisible Architecture conference (Roma,
2017), took place in the streets of Tokyo when Fujimoto was
studying at university. Here, as in the forests of Hokkaido,
spatiality was composed of apparently disconnected
elements (street lamps, benches, distributors, wastebins and
other street furniture), all of which contributed to creating a
perception of the whole, visible and invisible, with equally
important empty spaces.
These two places inspire his body of work, positioned
between “nature and human artifice”, as evidenced in
numerous projects in Japan, such as the T House (2005),
whose almost flower-shaped layout consists of one big room
with rooms radiating outwards, like petals. House O (2007) in
glass and concrete, is located on a rocky stretch of land

N House (2008), with its concentric shell-shaped
structure, blurs the boundaries between inside and
outside, "with a series of progressively more
intimate living spaces nested into one another".
Taking classic Japanese architectural traditions to
the extreme, where rooms are separated only by
sliding rice paper walls with no clear demarcation
between interior areas, Fujimoto constructed an
external concrete structure, with large unglazed
windows, and two internal modules plus an
outdoor space with trees, garden and wooden
deck.

The Final Wooden House (2008), with huge wooden beams
forming the walls, floor and roof, is a structure that
encourages the occupants to interpret the spatiality
according to their needs, due to the flexible use of the
surface area.
The transparent NA House (2010), with glass walls is inspired
by a treehouse, and comprises a single internal space,
constructed on an external steel frame. "Simple yet
essential, it is rich in design features and tricks (R. Zancan)
and represents a clear desire to take construction to the
extreme, in this case almost eliminating the demarcation
between human artifice and the environment also on a
purely visual level.

Non-residential projects include the Musashino Art University
Museum & Library (2010), Tokyo, a compact building in the
shape of a spiral that recalls an ark, characterized by large,
enveloping walls made up of bookshelves.
The thinking behind integrating natural and architectural
elements remains central, even in futuristic projects outside
Japan. These include a fascinating, temporary, lattice
structure reminiscent of a cloud, created for the Serpentine
Gallery in London (2013) and which Fujimoto considers his
best work.

Also known as "The Cloud” and relocated to
Tirana in 2016 (and renamed Reja), the structure
is inspired by organic shapes present in nature.
Once again, the man-made and nature merge, in
n “artificial nest". Formed by 20mm diameter
steel bars, it is a flexible, semi-transparent
structure, where visitors become an integral part
of nature and the landscape yet at the same time
remain protected inside.

10,000 square meter tower project. White tree (described
as an “architectural folly of the 21st century”) has been
under construction since 2014. The 17-storey, mixed-use
skyscraper was designed to look like a tree which has
grown in response to its surroundings. The project also
includes a series of urban improvements, such as
expanding the park along the river and optimizing roads.
In 2012, Fujimoto was a member of the team which won
the Golden Lion at the Architecture Exhibition in Venice.
