Abstract

In the 21st century, the industrial society based on materials and capital has changed into a dynamic digital society based on knowledge and information. The principles of various phenomena are also evolving into a new paradigm that includes variability and non-foreseenness.
 Complexity science was formed in the second half of the 20th century as a new trend of looking at the complexity of these various areas as a frame.
 Based on the complexity theory presented since the 1980s, this study tries to grasp the trends and characteristics of modern architecture from the perspective of social phenomena and examine the three methods recently applied to the works of architect Fujimoto Sou. First, we will understand the characteristics of new trends in the complexity theory and modern architecture, secondly, we will understand the characteristics of the complexity from Fujimoto's architecture concept and method, and thirdly, we will explore the diversity of approaches in complex architecture by comparing design concepts of modern architect and techniques with Fujimoto’s approach.
 Fujimoto emphasized coolness in his architectural ideas and focused on natural motifs as a design concept. Furthermore, while implementing this principle spatially, Fujimoto focused on experience and evolution, which is interaction with humans, and explored primitive future architecture oriented toward new architecture as the main principle of complex system theory. This is a paradox of existing architecture, and the architect tried to express uncertainty, nonlinearity, and non-measurability that did not exist in the existing architectural composition. Therefore, new human-centered architecture will need to continue to seek ways to approach new architecture for humans by enhancing a fundamental understanding of nature, namely primitive future architecture in Fujimoto's terminology, by increasing understanding of complex system theory focusing on natural order.
