Sou Fujimoto: Serpentine Pavilion

摘要

Sou Fujimoto's hazy Serpentine pavilion is not mere architectural folly. Fujimoto is sincere in his proposition about the future of architecture and its place in the world. I asked him who the structure was really for, and what its purpose was. He said, "It is for the people of London, and visitors of many different nations, to behave nicely in this park. For me, it was important to produce a structure that definitely had a shape, but one that was ambiguous. If you are outside the pavilion, this shape should be blurry. From different directions you should have completely different impressions. If you are inside, the object should disappear, it should be a gradient of shifting densities and transparencies.
