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]
Fujimoto published a book in 2008 called Sou Fujimoto: Primitive Future.[4] 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.[4][5]
