The works of Sou Fujimoto resist any form of conventional
categorization. This young Japanese architect stands for
unconventional buildings that cannot be described by standard
criteria and definitions such as inside/outside or public/private.
Clear divisions such as between floor levels and rooms are
shattered by his complex ground plans and interlocking structures
which--in a reference to the idea of the cave--he describes as
"primitive future." With this approach he creates forms that are
committed to a playful interaction between user and space.
Alongside private residences, such as the well-known N House, his
library for Musashino Art University has achieved particular
recognition. In addition he was represented at the 2010 Venice
Biennale with a design for a house. In his personal sketchbook Sou
Fujimoto offers insights into his design process. Through the
sketches, drawings, and notes readers can trace how his complex
concepts are made manifest and develop on paper.
SOU FUJIMOTO, born in Hokkaido, Japan, in 1971, established his
architectural practice Sou Fujimoto Architects in 2000. In 2008, he
was World Architecture Festival winner in the Private House
category, and was awarded a RIBA International Fellowship in 2012.
Recently he completed the new library and museum for the Musashino
Art University in Tokyo.
