Momoyo Kaijima, Atelier Bow-Wow

About Momoyo Kaijima

Born in Tokyo, Japan, Momoyo Kaijima received her undergraduate degree from the Japan Women’s University and both her graduate and post-graduate degrees from the Tokyo Institute of Technology. She was also a guest student at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule.

Momoyo has taught at the Tsukuba University and Harvard GSD, and is currently a visiting professor at Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich.

Yet Bow-Wow is also known for its small-scale work, projects that infill the compressed spaces within Tokyo.
