In her lecture, Momoyo Kaijima will talk about the specific teaching approaches and methods which she has developed at her chair of Architectural Behaviorology at the ETH Zurich. The lecture centers around didactic questions on observing and drawing collectively, on rehearsing attentiveness, on the protocols of projects. About the work of her ETH teaching studio Kaijima states: “Architectural Behaviorology being a design theory and methodology that we have adopted with the objective of rediscovering the forgotten values of resources through the lens of ethnography. In essence it tries to find existing barriers and deficits and then challenge them in order to create better accessibilities to local resources. The aim is to activate the behaviors of actors, both human and resource, to create commons and rejuvenate community livelihoods.”

Momoyo Kaijima founded Atelier Bow-Wow with Yoshiharu Tsukamoto in 1992. In 2012 she received the RIBA International Fellowship. Since 2017 she has been serving as a Professor of Architectural Behaviorology at ETHZ. She taught at Harvard GSD (2003, 2016), as well as at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (2011-12), Rice University (2014-15), Delft University of Technology (2015-16), and Columbia University (2017). While engaging in design projects for houses, public buildings and station plazas, she has conducted numerous investigations of the city through architecture such as Made in Tokyo and Pet Architecture. She was the curator of Japan Pavilion at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.
