Terunobu Fujimori crée une architecture poétique et
écologique qui semble venue d'un autre temps. Ce catalogue de l'exposition qui
lui est consacrée à la Villa Stuck, à Munich, présente l'ensemble de son oeuvre
à travers de nombreuses photos, des croquis et des plans, et prête une
attention particulière à la maison de thé qu'il a conçue, in situ, spécialement
à cette occasion.
The sophisticated designs by Terunobu Fujimori (*1946 in Nagano
prefecture) are fascinating: archaic, eccentric, poetic, and ecological,
almost all of them are made of simple, traditional materials such as
earth, stone, wood, coal, bark, and mortar. His architecture appeals to
primordial instincts, promising warmth and protection. His structures
serve as role models for a generation of young international architects
who value a mode of building that is ecological, historically aware, and
sustainable
This publication uses models, drawings, architectural
plans, and photographs to examine the designs by Fujimori, who enjoys
being referred to as the world's only Surrealist architect. Also
documented is a teahouse designed for the garden at the Villa Stuck, a
structure that is typical of Fujimori's intimate style of architecture.
