Born in Hokkaido in 1971, [1] he graduated from the University of Tokyo in 1994, and established his own office, Sou Fujimoto Architects, in 2000. [2] Noted for delicate light structures and permeable enclosures, Fujimoto designed several houses, and in 2013, was selected to design the temporary Serpentine Gallery pavilion in London. [3] In 2021, Fujimoto received the master's degree from l’École Spéciale d’Architecture in Paris. [4]
Fujimoto published a book in 2008 called Sou Fujimoto: Primitive Future. [5] It contains an overview of his projects up to that date, and it explains his concept of primitive future and how he uses it in his work. [5] [6]
After establishing Sou Fujimoto Architects in 2000, Fujimoto went on to design buildings across Japan and Europe. [7] Many of his designs are built around his idea that the function of a building is decided by human behavior. [8] In 2019, Fujimoto was selected as one of 23 architects to "reinvent" Paris.
