http://www.bow-wow.jp --- the young, up-and-coming architectural firm ‘atelier bow-wow’ has been established by yoshiharu tsukamoto (1965) and momoyo kaijima (1969) in 1992 in tokyo. they call their work ‘da-me’ (’no good’) architecture, strongly concerned about those urban spaces in tokyo that have been disregarded and considered unimportant or irrelevant, and have focused their efforts on researching and designing small hybrid architectural structures which they define as ‘pet architecture’. in 1999 atelier bow-wow won the tokyo architect’s gold medal prize for their design of the ‘mini house’, a celebration of all things small. --- back to the article --- ------- monthly designboom newsletter ------- ------- ? comments and contact us ? -------	‘jig’, 2003 ‘gae house’ 2003
