The work of my favorite Architect Sou Fujimoto and his philosophy of "In Between", which is the inspiration to the young architects.

1. SOU FUJIMOTO
Natural and artificial artefacts – leaves
and branches or street signs and
window panes – operate in both places
at the human scale.
A fresh approach to the relationship
between architectural space and
the human body.
‘Architecture is relentlessly plagued by
the maladroit, inevitable formalism,
opacity and confinement’
Fujimoto imagines architecture in
which everything in between arise
weightlessly which is architecture of
dream.
Design Philosophy-“IN BETWEEN”

2. Conventional architecture has
systemized our world in the name of ‘
Functionalism’, as if clearly
differentiated into black and white and
one and zero.
Infinite calorific degrees between white
and black and innumerable values
between 1 and zero.
• NATURE AND ARCHITECTURE;
• INTERIORITY AND EXTERIORITY;
• FURNITURE AND ARCHITECTURE;
• ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM;
• PRIVATE AND PUBLIC;
• AND HOUSES AND STREET.
Producing something that is in between
those two contrasting things or mixed
of those two contrasting things.

3. Brought nature and architecture together.
Interplay between the questions of what
is inside and what is outside.
Cloud-like and formal in its composition.
Made by grids which is man made things, but
shape is soft and complex which can be directly
related to nature.
SERPENTINE GALLERY IN LONDON(2013)
“The synthesis of nature and
architecture is key–whereby our
natural environment’s
complexity is injected into a
man made sense of order (and
vice versa), bringing forth a
new definition of space that
responds to our changing
‘IN BETWEEN NATURE AND ARCHITECTURE’

4. The main inspiration for
this project was the trees
that surround the site.
The experience is half
nature and half super
artificial
