"Every kind of architectural definition has an in-between space" - Sou Fujimoto

In this movie Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto discusses his philosophy of designing structures that are "in between" opposing concepts such as nature and architecture, and says the approach could work just as well on a skyscraper as a small private house.
"Nature and architecture are fundamental themes [of my work]," says Fujimoto, speaking to Dezeen after giving his keynote speech at this year's World Architecture Festival.
"I like to find something in between. Not only nature and architecture but also inside and outside. Every kind of definition has an in-between space. Especially if the definitions are two opposites, then the in-between space is more rich."
Fujimoto gives his recently completed Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in London as an example of his philosophy, in which he used a series of geometric lattices to create a cloud-like structure.
"In various meanings it is in between things," he says of the project. "It's made by a grid, but the shape is very soft and complex. The experience is half nature and half super-artificial."

Thanks for being an inspiration for those how think that architecture can be more than four walls a floor and a roof. Big fan.

L'architecture moderne dans son essence recherche l'imatérialité, mais jusqu'à aujourd'hui, elle n'y est pas arrivée, c'est pour ça qu'au lieu d'une final wooden house, j'aurai préféré une Final golden house qui soit une alternance de golden beams et de glass beams, offrant une variété d'ambiance en relation par exemple avec un sunset et où il n'est plus question d'intérieur-extérieur mais d'un rapport à l'imatérialité où le golden beams et le glass beams ne peuvent plus être approchés comme matérialité mais comme irréalité des sens n'étant plus en relation avec un vulgaire matériau de construction mais une immatérialité, itération inquantifiable selon chat GPT.

In-Between? Sounds like between positive space and negative space.

[@donkillaby7231]

One of the things that is wrong with the world today is this insistence on binary everything. The world is much richer than just black and white - there are a multitude of shades of grey.

[@donkillaby7231]

This man's work is about that which lies between - the shades of grey.

[@donkillaby7231]

The term negative space is absurd. The negative of space is mass.

Construction employment is such a prison. They don't pay. They won't play. Society is constantly forced to "Stay". Boring. Static. Obedience. Crap.

Interesting three-minute summary for the sustainable modern junkyard.

This Architect really needs to share his drugs...

[@sirankleknocker3122]

So in between space is commonly called a wall...haha

[@donkillaby7231]

In Japan it's called "engawa" and no, it's not a wall.

[@dstuart2918]

I get tired of "cleverness" and mannered gimmicks in architecture now. I miss practicality and thrift.

[@IgorGeek123]

This video is architecture. What you are describing is "construction"
