Beginning with his pioneering designs for United Nations refugee shelters in the mid-1990s, 2014 Pritzker winning architect Shigeru Ban has devoted himself to humanitarian efforts in the wake of some of the most devastating natural and manmade disasters of the past two decades. With projects jointly selected by Ban and AAM Nancy and Bob Magoon CEO and Director Heidi Zuckerman Jacobson, and the exhibition design done by the architect himself, Shigeru Ban: Humanitarian Architecture broadly explores this fascinating and inspiring component of the architect's practice with full-scale examples of Ban's groundbreaking designs.

Beskrivelse: This large-format monograph is the first to chronicle exclusively Shigeru Bans explorations in "paper architecture." Informed by a thorough and early interest in sustainable forms, his innovative practice pioneered the use of paper as a structural element in buildings. This book features permanent and temporary structures, ranging from one-off museums and exhibition spaces to emergency structures for communities displaced by natural and man-made catastrophes. The forty projects featured in the book showcase the variety of possible applications for paper and its derivative forms (cardboard, fiber-based composites)
