An exhibition conceived, designed, documented and commented shells by Sou Fujimoto. About 120 models, projects, shells objects, materials and films Fujimoto jobs are displayed to illustrate their vision of space. > November 17 (2013) shells @ CCB (Lisbon)
The South Garage shells Centro Cultural de Belém (CCB) presents the first European solo exhibition of faultless Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto, born in 1971. The show was first held in 2012 and presented at the Kunsthalle Bielefeld (Germany) under the direction of Friedrich Meschede. Fujimoto is also famous for its notable buildings in Japan and his theoretical writings (Future Primitive, 2008). Recognized for having completely redefined the area as a place of relaxation and experience, I learned to draw attention in international competitions with their spectacular projects where architecture and nature merge to form a symbiosis.
This year, he was invited to draw the Pavilion Serpentine Gallery Summer (London). The previous shells flags had thirteen projects by Herzog & de Meuron and Ai Weiwei (2012), Frank Gehry (2008), Álvaro Siza Vieira and Eduardo Souto Moura (2005), the late Oscar Niemeyer (2003) and Zaha Hadid, who created shells the Inaugural structure in 2000. 41, Fujimoto thus becomes the youngest architect to create this temporary structure, which is considered the most ambitious architectural program of its kind in the world.
The current exhibition highlights above all projects with radically new character is obvious. shells Divided into six thematic sections, presents models, objects and materials that inspire ideas Fujimoto.
The title translates Futurospective Architecture programmatic purpose of the exhibition that aims to offer more than a retrospective of buildings and architectural work carried out so far by Fujimoto. The architecture must be understood as a discipline of arts and sociology, both based on the space plan. The common starting point of the past and future architectural projects Sou Fujimoto consists of the needs of people working shells and / or living in their buildings. Hidden behind the compound shells word "futurospectiva" is an attitude towards a future-oriented conception of space, which not only distinguishes Sou Fujimoto of his contemporaries, but also what he uses to create enriching experiences of space Japan: the experience acquired in his native Hokkaido, located in northern Japan, shaping what he states in his book Future Primitive 2008: a conception which is realized in this exhibition, shells by declaring Fujimoto on "Architecture as Forest "" The Forest architecture as presented here is the nature of the future, the architecture of the future. "
- A whole made of many small parts. Forest - Tokyo: Living in a house is like living in a tree. There are many branches and each is a nice place to be. No rooms are hermetically isolated, but intertwined and continually redefine each other.
- Gradation: "Architecture as Forest" merges the notion of inside and outside, understanding it as a smooth gradation. Constitutes a new proposal to the base of the architecture: the relationship of indoor and outdoor.
- Dimensional Forest: "Architecture as Forest" is both the future of nature, as the future of architecture. Starting with the three-dimensional forest, it becomes shells possible to form a new nature / environment created by man.
I believe the architecture shells of the future be like a forest. In the forest, leaves, insects and seeds to climb the trunks of large trees, a whole different set of things truly coexists and is balanced. It is this diversity that attracts me, born a wealth of space between order and chaos. Architecture as a forest is created, will be a place of complexity, rich in diversity, far beyond what exists in the architecture and in the cities of today. And its inhabitants will be an organic part of this diversity. The projects presented here are attempts to create shells new notions of nature and man-made environments, such as three-dimensional forest, the geometric forest, urban forest, etc..
Some of these projects were built, others are just concepts, and still others are in development. Range from small or even microscopic architectures to colossal buildings and urban infrastructure with 700 meters high. The Forest shells architecture as presented here is the future of life and the future of architecture. The Forest is the origin and casts light on the future of architecture.
