Sou Fujimoto is a Japan architect that has been pushing what we traditionally call a house, but way beyond that just formal aspects. New typologies are explored, introducing new ideas on “living”.
For example: the layered living on House N, the empty/void relations in the Final Wooden House (result of Kumamoto Artopolis 2005), the blending of exterior/interior on his ORDOS 100 vila, or the circulations on the House Before House for the Tokyo Gas Project. This is also seen on his book Primitive Architecture.
Our friends from 0300 had the chance to sit down and talk with Sou Fujimoto, resulting on a 2 part video interview reproduced here.
I recommend checking this one out, as Sou has very interesting points of view on architecture.
