Kazunori Fujimoto
Digital Format (PDF)
This issue of En Blanco is dedicated to the work of Japanese architect Kazunori Fujimoto, whose architecture explores with remarkable precision the relationship between space, materiality and atmosphere.
Through a selection of residential projects built in Japan, the publication presents an architectural approach defined by the pursuit of simplicity and formal reduction, where reinforced concrete becomes the primary medium for shaping space. Rather than merely a structural material, concrete appears in Fujimoto’s work as a sculptural substance capable of defining light, void and the continuity between interior and exterior.
The issue includes the essay Materiality and Space by Gabriele Lelli, which situates Fujimoto’s architecture within the Japanese tradition of spatial lightness and relationship with nature, as well as a text by the architect himself entitled Simplicity, where he outlines the fundamental principles of his architectural thinking. In this text, Fujimoto argues that architecture emerges from the essential relationship between space, form and atmosphere, and that simplicity can generate a profound richness in the experience of inhabiting space.
The projects featured —including House on Mt. Yataka, House in Chikata, House in Henaji and House in Akitsu— reveal an architecture based on few elements and great constructive precision, where walls, slabs and voids combine to create spatial sequences open to the surrounding landscape.
The result is a silent and rigorous architecture, rooted in Japanese tradition yet deeply contemporary, in which the materiality of concrete becomes a tool for creating powerful domestic atmospheres.
