sou fujimoto: inside outside tree

sou fujimoto: inside outside tree


image: pasi aalto

japanese architect sou fujimoto explores the boundaries between interior and exterior with ‘inside outside
tree’ currently on display as part of ‘1:1 - architects build small spaces’ at the V&A museum in london.
the structure is made from sheets of clear acrylic which have been cut into variously shaped polygons
and bound together using zip ties. the concept behind the work makes reference to 'engawa', the japanese
word for the platform that separates the house from the garden. in foujimoto’s work, the viewer can see
inside and outside at once. the cube shape connects to the tree form inside forming a single volume
surrounding the tree. fujimoto describes the piece as ‘a transparent tree shape but the tree is not a tree
but a void of tree’.

Wasn't impressed by this one when I saw it, definitely not as good as some of the others on show.
