According to Sou Fujimoto’s Primitive Future, the blurred lines between inside out and outside in are concepts that enhance the idea of the in-between space, that physical and intangible spatial range where architecture really happens, where the future is envisioned from an elemental and essential place, and reflects on diversity, complexity, and dynamics of contemporary humans. The orchestrated chaos of this project, revisits these concepts by making the most of AI tools, playing with the disturbed relations with its context, the unpredictability, changeability, and diversity of the spatial possibilities, adding some atmospheric criteria, and always keeping in mind the human-scaled environment.
Architecture that intrigues and inspires, is always shifting established physical concepts. The “Back to basics” project starts doing so by inverting or blending the perceptions between the inside and the outside, surrounding its spaces with textures that bring memories of the origin of this discipline back to the visitors’ minds.
The different layers and levels of the project allows the visitors to move from one place to another, experimenting different intimacy levels, space scales, views, and spatial relations.
