Revolution has to be done in a way that no one
notice.

Junzo Kuroda), Made in Tokyo
"We thought that although these buildings are not
explained by the city of Tokyo, they do explain
what Tokyo is. So, by collecting and aligning them,
the nature of Tokyos urban space might become
apparent" (Yoshiharu Tsukamoto, Momoyo Kajima
and Junzo Kuroda)

Tsukamoto, Momoyo Kajima and
Junzo Kuroda), Made in Tokyo
Made in Tokyo emerged from Atelier Bow Wow as
a published text in 2001. It has also been
represented in the form of catalogues, exhibitions,
and even t-shirts. The bright yellow cover makes
an immediate statement, echoing the impact the
text has created by providing alternative methods
for understanding the urban nature of Tokyo.
Alternative that is, "as an antidote to the many
Japanese publications dedicated to the
extravagant buildings of the prosperous 'bubble'
period."

Atelier Bow Wow (Yoshiharu
Tsukamoto, Momoyo Kajima and
Junzo Kuroda), Made in Tokyo
"Anonymous buildings, not beautiful, and not
accepted in architectural culture to date"; this
text documents an ongoing investigation which
began in 1991, stemming from an observation
made by Tsukamoto and Kaijima of an everyday
building, "a narrow spaghetti shop wrenched into
the space under a baseball batting centre."]
Usually overlooked in nature, 70 examples of da-
me architecture or no-good architecture are
catalogued. A wide variety of typologies are listed,
serving as "a survey of nameless and strange
buildings of this city."

Examples include the Sewage Courts, which
function as a sewage disposal plant and sporting
facilities, or the Highway Department Store, an
expressway and department store. These buildings
can only exist in Tokyo. "We thought that although
these buildings are not explained by the city of
Tokyo, they do explain what Tokyo is. So, by
collecting and aligning them, the nature of Tokyo
s urban space might become apparent."

Each example is explained through diagrams and
photographs, the text laid out in the form of a
guidebook. The logic is that "a guidebook doesnt
need a conclusion, clear beginning or order. This
seems suitable for Tokyo where the scene is of
never ending construction and destruction."
