Atelier Bow-Wow's Studios in Tokyo

By Lisa Smith - September 11, 2009

in Video

0300tv recently shot this video of Atelier Bow-Wow's studios in Tokyo, designed by the firm themselves. From the footage, it's almost impossible to tell what the building looks like as a whole—instead, it's all about situation. The most important spaces found inside and outside the building are highlighted, revealing how they are occupied, used and cluttered. This idea seems central to Atelier Bow-Wow's practice, which they've illustrated so well in their books Graphic Anatomy, a commingling of architectural drawings and everyday scenes, and Pet Architecture, an index of tiny buildings that have been squeezed into leftover spaces.
