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.
