森美術館「藤本壮介展 2025」レポート ― 自然のための建築(11月9日まで)

The Mori Art Museum in Tokyo is currently hosting the exhibition “Sou Fujimoto: Architecture for Nature”, running until November 9, 2025.
Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto is internationally known for projects such as the Serpentine Pavilion in London (2013), and this exhibition presents his bold vision of blending architecture and nature.
Visitors are free to take photos and videos, making it a perfect cultural spot for travelers in Tokyo.

Exhibition Highlights

目次

Entrance Panel

The entrance sets the tone with the theme “Primordial, Future, Forest”.

Floating Models

Hundreds of floating architectural models create a dreamlike space, showcasing Fujimoto’s experiments with organic and futuristic forms.
Walking through this space, you feel as if you are peering into a future city.
Seeing the photo panels of actual completed buildings, it was fascinating to understand how these visionary ideas were realized in real life.

Wooden Structures

Large-scale wooden frameworks allow visitors to walk inside, experiencing how architecture can shape the way we move and feel.
This is a 1/5 scale model of the Grand Roof Ring at Expo 2025 Kansai, Osaka.
Visitors can actually walk through the structure. Since I visited the Expo last month, I was impressed to realize that this model represents the massive building I had just seen in person.

Light & Organic Installations

Fujimoto’s iconic white spherical installations evoke natural growth patterns, blending science, design, and art.
They feel less like art objects and more like visions of a future city.
Inside the spheres, you can see miniature human figures, giving a glimpse of how people might live within such structures.
I felt excited, wondering if I would witness this kind of lifestyle within my lifetime.
