Studio Bow Wow have over the past years entered into the unloved and overlooked terrain of anonymous buildings, and have investigated the da-me – "no-good" architectures which have resulted within a city where every square meter is put to maximum use. The nameless, hybrid architectures of the city, which until now have not been accepted into architectural culture, are unique, small in scale (hence also their definition as "pet architecture"), and are buildings where practical issues are high, built directly for use, interdependent, and an immediate response to the here and now. Studio Bow Wow have discovered and documented such buildings where a highly unusual ecology is packed into a single building: where a bicycle shop meets a snack-kiosk, meets a batting centre. The result of their investigations has led to a delight in the new possibilities for urban dwelling and new architectures that result from having observed, and sought inspiration from, the unplanned, the individualistic, and the highly idiosyncratic wealth of building that defy classification. In fact, they epitomise the undefinable, the immediate and are both a response, and a legitimate counterweight, to the over-definition within architectural discourse. The pet architectures and da-me buildings also reflect the situation, and value systems, of Tokyo – a city where much has been left unseen in favour of the focus on sleek skyscrapers of the business districts and the financial centre.
