Dezeen has teamed up with London's Royal Academy of Arts to broadcast its 2021 annual architecture lecture by Atelier BowWow founders Yoshiharu Tsukamoto and Momoyo Kaijima.

In the lecture, which is titled Architectural Behaviorology, the architects discussed the architectural impact of the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 1964 and 2021 and how it has affected their own practice.

The duo explained their approach to architecture –how they try to create a continuous loop between research, teaching and their own design work – before discussing how they have increasingly shifted their attention to rural areas of Japan.

Projects featured in the talk include Atelier Bowwow's work over a number of years in Momonoura, a small fishing village that was devastated by the Tsunami in 2011.

Tsukamoto presented projects including the studio's Tanada Terrace Office pavilion, a concept for a rural office that Atelier BowWow built with Muji in an area of Japanese farmland dominated by terraced rice fields.

Tsukamoto and Kaijima's lecture, which they gave remotely in July, is the 30th annual architecture lecture organised by the Royal Academy of Arts. Dezeen has collaborated with the RA to make the talk available for free for the first time.
