Fujiki Studio + F.A.D.S Document 16 Years of Seamless Architecture
Beam Editions has just put out a new paperback titled 'Seamless Architecture of Fujiki Studio + F.A.D.S.' This book spans 164 pages and highlights sixteen years of architectural work by Ryumei Fujiki, Yukiko Sato, their studio, and F.A.D.S. It's available in both English and Japanese, featuring projects from 2010 to 2026, including built structures, installations, and theoretical studies. The concept of Seamless Architecture, presented in the book, emphasizes smooth transitions between walls, roofs, and floors, drawing inspiration from nature rather than outdated machinery. The cover, designed using origami techniques, nods to the Porous Manifold project. You can find copies at notable architecture libraries and also purchase it on Amazon Japan.
