"The floating masses of Many Small Cubes creates a new experience of space, a rhythm of flickering shadows and lights like the sun filtering through leafy trees." Sou Fujimoto


Sou Fujimoto, born in 1971 in Hokkaido, is a contemporary Japanese architect, author of a concept that at first seems seems contradictory : "Future Primitive". Although he situates himself within the legacy of Japanese culture, he brings a new vision to architecture by developing a unique formal vocabulary based on the principle: "1 nothing + 1 nothing = something". In 2013 he was commissioned to create the 14th Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in London. With Many Small Cubes, exhibited in the Tuileries gardens, he signs his first work in Paris. Many Small Cubes is a small nomadic house which incarns a new concept associating art and architecture Galerie Philippe Gravier has undertaken the production of a series of "Maisons d’édition", which can be likened to architectural "jewels" or "folies", by artists and architects of international renown. All are nomadic structures, alternatively removable and perennial, which are inscribed in the artistic landscape just as they are in the environment.
