Atelier Bow-Wow at REDCAT

Tonight, Yoshiharu Tsukamoto and Momoyo Kaijima, the architects behind Atelier Bow-Wow, will be attending the opening reception for Small Case Study House at REDCAT in Los Angeles. They are probably best known in the U.S. for their books dedicated to their classification and naming of "Pet Architecture" (structures that are jammed into corners, alleys, and other spaces that naturally occur in the urban environment), but they are accomplished architects on their own.


On the side, they apply their technical and imaginative prowess to more conceptual works for art museums. Typically, they gear such installations toward local themes. Their L.A. show will apply the Case Study House idea to eternal Southern California themes including barbecues, hammocks, and watching the sun set. We saw models a few weeks ago and, trust us, they're cool.


They came here all the way from Japan, so don't miss the show which lasts until the end of March. More on Atelier Bow-Wow to come...
