Sou Fujimoto: Primitive Future

I found a marvelous book while walking in the streets of Shinjuku.
The diagram popped out and called for my attention.
It was titled, Sou Fujimoto: Primitive Future.
Let not the simple appearance of the cover nor the slim 14o somewhat page structure deceive of its intriguing content. It focuses on one of the fastest rising young Japanese architect of this generation. Ok, that had a lot of adjective in it, but it suffices to say that Sou Fujimoto requires many descriptors.
The structure is a novel bilingual format well laid out and with images that are at times fresh and other times almost nostalgic as if I am peering into my own childhood image. As the idea for the book was "concept book" in which the architect is free to write, propose, draw, basically to do whatever, it exemplifies this architects wide interest in music and poetry, linguistics and phenomenology. I think it has the lightness of looking through a picture book, with a deepness of reading into the text to share Fujimoto's own journey in the palimpsest. Like his architectural concepts and diagrams, the book is not organized in terms of temporality or scale. The organization of the book seems to be totally reliant on the relationships formed between pages.
The margin of pages are thoughtfully laid out as the images and texts require all the white space it needs to breeze. The vocabulary of "ambiguous" and "complexity" is reimagined here in the 21st Century by Fujimoto to be that of tectonic, spatial, and corporeal ambiguity instead of Post-Modern language of historical, iconic, signs and symbols.
I think Sou Fujimoto is a must see character in coming decades.
As Paulo Portoghesi noted that all architects reach their maturity by their fifties, I cannot wait to see and imagine what Fujimoto will be doing in two decades.
