Atelier Bow-Wow is a Tokyo-based firm founded by Yoshiharu Tsukamoto and Momoyo Kaijima in 1992. Their interest lies in diverse fields ranging from architectural design to urban research. In their projects and research, they have developed the notion of architectural behaviorology.
They claim that an understanding of common human behaviour and behaviour of natural phenomena and buildings in a certain context, opens up the possibility for new architectural strategies. The local resources that are found in networks of people, skills and materials, allow for the intelligence of commonalities to be engaged, articulated, uncovered, accommodated, assembled and created. This intelligence is used in various ways throughout Ateliers Bow-Wow projects; relentlessly re-developed and re-invented within specific conditions.
