Abstract

This paper aims at researching the Japanese architect Terunobu Fujimori's (1946~) diploma design <Bridge: The Method of Ledoux for Giving Reality to Images through Illusion> (1971) and its relation with the present works, focusing on the scenario of 'City ruined->Nature reborn->Building reconstructed' and on Claude-Nicolas Ledoux's method of illusion. Fujimori's suggestion of totally ruining the existing city Sendai to solve pollution problems caused by its industrialization is a strong reaction to modern civilization. Yet his design of the machine-like bridge on the ruined city revealed a dilemma that he was still bound to the technology-oriented idea of the time. On the other hand, the reason for his adopting the concept of Ledoux's illusion is to give reality to the metaphoric scenario of ruin-rebirth-reconstruction. Now it looks certain that Fujimori continues this ruin & rebirth metaphor for his present design though often invisible, but the technotopic gesture of the Archigram-inspired bridge in the diploma project was rejected, with being dramatically satirized in case. And the concept of illusion was replaced by fantasy elements or a reference to surrealist paintings. In conclusion, this paper argues that the ruin & rebirth metaphor in Fujimori's architecture is a symbolic clue indicating a civilization after technological utopianism.
