Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Since the Second World War, the urban fabric of Tokyo has been shaped by individual landownership and the proliferation of the detached house. For most Japanese architectural offices, domestic practice provides the mainstay of their work. This focus on the single private house, though, also limits the range of possibilities for urban interventions. <jats:bold>Yoshiharu Tsukamoto</jats:bold> of Atelier Bow‐Wow explains how through its development of ‘Void Metabolism’, the studio has been able to turn its focus on the residential into a positive, breaking down the barriers between private and shared space in the city.</jats:p>
