FAIRY TALE ARCHITECTURE
FUJIMORI TERUNOBU b. 1946
● Red School/White School: Fujimori is an example of “Red School”; others: their values
reflect White School
● Street Observation Society (ROJO): “On The Road”
● Jomon Construction League: group of friends (former Prime Minister of Japan, Avant
Garde artists, Fujimori himself, and more) that build some of their structures together - at
least parts of them
● Wood is very important to this architect
● Does not have the fundamental training and background required of architects today -
was a professor of architecture (and its history)
○ 40s: started making buildings
RED SCHOOL
● Homemade
● Rooted in the soil
● Raw rock
● Weathered wood
● Accident
● Ornament
● Rural, regional
○ Antithesis of the White School
WHITE SCHOOL
● Scientific
● Automated production
● Precision
● More electricity
● Sleek, slender
● Steel, glass, concrete, composites
○ No earthiness in it; not rooted
in the ground
Tokyo Skytree vs. Burj Khalifa
● Both are great feats of architecture
● Tokyo Skytree is shorter
● Fujimori rejects this architecture - characterizations of the White School
