В одном из недавних интервью архитектору Соу Фуджимото (sou  Fujimoto) задали банальный вопрос о том, какая из его построек нра- вится ему больше всего. Архитектор не стал ставить интервьюера на  место или бубнить о том, что все проекты любимы им одинаково, он  ответил, что самыми значимыми для него стали два недавно закон- ченных проекта – дом n и «Дом будущего поколения». И это вовсе не  самолюбование, потому что, начиная именно с этих построек, об архи- текторе заговорили за пределами родной страны необычайно громко,  поставив его имя в один ряд с Тойо Ито или sAnAA. Последнее, впро- чем, закономерно, ведь Фуджимото – апологет классических японских  традиций. В мире, перенасыщенном информацией, он не пасует, увлек- шись дигитальным проектированием и создавая информационную ар- хитектуру. Его проекты содержательны, но не велеречивы, и именно  этим, пожалуй, он интересен: не приближаясь к грани между архитек- турой и не-архитектурой, он упрощает формы и жонглирует ими. Дом n сам архитектор называет малобюджетным проектом, да и по- хоже на то, но главным, как и во всей японской архитектуре, оказыва- ется не текст, а подтекст. Постройка представляет собой составную 

A CitY in the house | oita, Japan | sou Fujimoto | house n | photos by iwan baan | text by eugenia bakhturova In one of the recent interviews Sou Fuji- moto was asked a banal question: which of his building he likes most. The architect did not try to set the interviewer down or mum- ble something like «I like all my project equal- ly«. Instead, he said that two recent projects – the House N and the Next Generation House – were the most significant to him. And this is not narcissism, because beginning with these buildings the architect started to be spoken about loudly outside his home country, be- ing placed in one category with Toyo Ito or SANAA. Which is not surprising as Fujimoto is a follower of classical Japanese traditions. In the world overloaded with information he doesn’t give up and go in for digital design and information architecture. His project are substantial but not bombastic and this is why he actually is interesting: not trying to ap- proach the boundaries between architecture and something else, he simplifies forms and juggles them. He calls House N a budget project and right- fully so, but here the main thing is not the text but the subtext, as everywhere in Japanese ar- chitecture. The building is a compound struc- ture consisting of three ‘shells’ that are insert- ed into each other like a matryoshka. The out- er shell covers all the areas completely: these are a kind of outer walls. There is a kind of a not-that-necessary winter garden between this outer shell and the second one. The sec- ond shell separated residential area inside the already closed space. Finally, the third struc- ture makes internal dividing walls.
