This structure creates a space where notions of ‘inside and outside’ and ‘nature and artificiality’ are inverted and convergent; it explores the crucial duality and ‘in-between-ness’ that defines traditional Japanese architecture. The interior surface of the hollow, transparent tree is continuous with the exterior of the cube form that surrounds it. Thus, one can stand outside the cube and inhabit the same space as the tree’s interior, and vice versa.

Sou Fujimoto: This is Tokyo nature and Tokyo architecture. Tokyo nature, Tokyo architecture and Tokyo sky.
My practice is based in Tokyo and the staff is sixteen and ten more interns, so around thirty people are working in my office. I like to have a good collaboration with staff so the office is a good workshop to create new architecture. In the process of studying architecture, I discovered Japanese tradition is really important for me. Not just following Japanese culture but to find and discover something new.
My principle of architecture is of course based on the simplicity of Japanese culture but at the same time I like to create something very complex. It’s kind of a good combination of nature and artificial things together because nature is really complex and artificial things are based on simplicity so I like to create something very complex in an artificial way.
My site is in front of the architecture gallery. The theme is inside and outside and they are really exciting key words for me. I proposed a transparent tree shape but the tree is not a tree but a void of tree. A long time ago of course and in the future, a tree is one of the best expressions for people to create something.
The concept is a very clear transparent tree shape and inside outside shape but how to realize is a very big problem because transparent tree shapes are very complex things.
