In Sou Fujimoto¡¯s architecture, the future is bright and airy ¡ª much like his structures. It¡¯s a wholly utopian vision.

From his almost entirely to his transparent roof and white steel lattice design for the Serpentine Gallery¡¯s pavilion in London, and, most recently, his wooden Grand Ring for Expo 2025, the architect has long been preoccupied with openness and freedom.

¡°Each and every person is a corner that hides away, but also leaves one side for openness,¡± he says.
