BIArch Open Lectures: "Architectural Behaviorology" by Yoshiharu Tsukamoto (Atelier Bow-Wow, Tokyo)

BIArch's next Open Lecture will be delivered by Atelier Bow-Wow's Yoshiharu Tsukamoto. Tsukamoto (Kanagawa, 1965) graduated from the Tokyo Institute of Technology and co-founded Atelier Bow-Wow with his partner Momoyo Kaijima in 1992. Their interests lie in diverse fields ranging from architectural design to urban research and the creation of public artworks. The practice has designed and built over 20 houses, public museums and commercial buildings. "Pet Architecture Guidebook" and "Made In Tokyo", published in 2001, were among many urban research studies that led to the experimental project ‘micro-public-space’, a new concept of public space, which has been exhibited across the world at events such as biennials in São Paolo, Venice, Istanbul and Liverpool. In addition to his practice, Yoshiharu Tsukamoto is an Associate Professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology, and has been Visiting Lecturer at Harvard GSD and University of Califonia, Los Angeles. Introduction by: Dominique Boudet, editor–in-chief of the French architecture journals Le Moniteur and AMC, and creator of L’Equerre d’Argent, one of France’s most prestigious architecture awards. Access is free and open to the public, but capacity is limited.
