Yoshiharu Tsukamoto was very gracious and welcomed us to his home/office. He spoke of the work of Atelier Bow-Wow and showed us around the building.
Yoshiharu Tsukamoto, along with his partner Momoyo Kaijima, founded Atelier Bow-wow in 1992. It is one the most unique practices of its generation. Bow-Wow embraces a kind of accidental urban vernacular, using their research/work to chronicle the complex - and often unforgiving - logic of the city. Acting as urban detectives, Bow-wow has catalogued the agility of Tokyo's fabric to produce radical programmatic collisions (Made in Tokyo) and nuanced micro architectures (Pet Architecture).(from http://www.archinect.com/features/article.php?id=56468_0_23_0_C )
