About Kulapat Yantrasast
Architect and designer Kulapat
Yantrasast founded wHY in 2004,
combining his experience in architecture
and the art world with a deep commitment
to cultural inclusivity and human
flourishing.
His multidisciplinary practice is now
engaged in projects that shift
the away we engage with art and culture,
including the Rockefeller Wing of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art and the
Northwest Coast Hall at the American
Museum of Natural History. Other leading
cultural projects include a new
contemporary art museum in Makati,
Philippines. Kulapat is also involved in
important community projects in
California, including a mixed-use
affordable housing compound in Watts,
Los Angeles, and EPACENTER Arts, a youth
arts and music center in East Palo Alto.
Each of these projects follows his
guiding ethic of human-centered design
and creative collaboration.
Kulapat holds MA and Ph.D. degrees in
architecture from the University of
Tokyo and is a trustee of the Noguchi
Museum in New York City and the Pulitzer
Arts Foundation. He is a frequent public
speaker at leading institutions and
organizations, discussing architecture
through the lens of ecology, cuisine,
and human sociability.
