Terunobu Fujimori (藤森 照信, Fujimori Terunobu, November 21, 1946) is a Japanese architect and architectural historian.During the 1970s and 1980s he made studies of the city about early Western buildings and unusual occurrences, and did not turn to architecture until he was in his forties. His work is considered by many to be eccentric but is characterised by his use of natural materials.Although he is well known in Japan as a cultural commentator he was not widely known in the West until he represented Japan at the 2006 Venice Biennale.
