Profile

Yoshiharu Tsukamoto obtained his architectural degree from the Tokyo Institute of Technology and co-founded Atelier Bow-Wow together with his partner Momoyo Kijima in 1992. With interests in fields ranging from architectural design to urban research and the creation of public artwork, the practice has designed and built over 20 houses, public museums and commercial buildings.

Pet Architecture Guidebook and Made in Tokyo, both 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 a Visiting Lecturer at Harvard University Graduate School of Design and the University of California, Los Angeles.
