Terunobu Fujimori, a leading historian of modern Japanese architecture, began to design his own architecture in 1990. Since then, he has created a number of original buildings unbound by previous forms or styles, offering continual surprises to the world of architecture. The exhibition, "Architecture of Terunobu Fujimori and ROJO: Unknown Japanese Architecture and Cities," was presented last year as part of the "Venice Biennale: 10th International Architecture Exhibition 2006." It was acclaimed for offering a glimpse of an unknown aspect of contemporary Japanese architecture, which enjoys a high international reputation. An expanded version of the same exhibition, including special Japan exhibition projects, will be shown at the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery.
