Hiromi Fujii – Programming the Cube

In the 1970’s Japanese architect Hiromi Fujii neutralised his architectural projects from time, tradition and convention by using the most archetypal of all conceptual objects, the cube. Programming this minimal element through further syntactic transformations into more complex nested structures allowed his drawings retain a stark and empty elegance. Like Sol LeWitt’s combinatorial transformation drawings they have no history, or time, outside of the cold logic of their algorithmic prescription; their context is self-contained; they reference only variations of themselves.
