This describe about Architect Shigeru Ban is an Japanese architect
known for his innovative work with paper, particularly recycled cardboard tubes used to quickly and efficiently house disaster victims. Many of his notable designs are structures which are temporary, prefabricated, or incorporate inexpensive and unconventional materials in innovative ways. He was profiled by Time magazine in their projection of 21st-century innovators in the field of architecture and design

3. INTRODUCTION
OF SHIGERU BAN
SHIGERU BAN AN INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECT; THIS IS EVEIDENT
FROM THE MOMENT HE DISCOVERD AND DEVELOP THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF PAPER.
HE IS KNOWN BY HIS PERFECT ARCHITECTURE OF LUXURIOUS
AND PRESTIGIOUS AESTHETIC AND WELL STUDIED AREA.
SHIGERU BAN IS A JAPANES ARCHITECT WHO BOUGHT A NEW
APPROACH TO CONTEM[PRARY MODERN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
WITH HIS MATERIAL SELECTION AND TECHNIQUES..
4. PHILOSOPHY
Work reflects blend of his
AMERICAN ARCHITECTURAL
training and his native
JAPANESE INFLUENCES.
Adopts a construction method
in which the structure is
integrated into an over all
design.
Innovative exploration and
integration of material so as
to enhance their structural
potential.
Material ranging from Paper,
Wood, Bamboo and Steel.
5. PHILOSOPHY AND CONCEPT
IS TO CREATE UNIQUELY FREE AND OPEN
SPACES WITH CONCRETE RATIONALITY OF
STRUCTURE AND CONSTRUCTION METHOD.
THE EXISTING CONSTRUCTION METHOD
BY USING EASILY OBTAINABLE OFF-THE-
SHELF MATERIALS IN INNOVATIVE AND
UNPRECEDENTED
STRUCTURAL/CONSTRUCTION SYSTEMS.
HARMONIZE THE NATURE WITH ARCHITECTURE
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT .
HOLD UP AND ENCOURAGE THE INNNOVATION
OF ASIAN CULTURE GENERALLY AND JAPENESE
PARTICULARLY .
6. MATERIAL
AND CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES
Ban designed a cylindrical paper Arbor built from a series of tubes mounted
on a concrete base and topped by a roof with a compression ring. The tubes
were coated with paraffin wax and strengthened with glue.
PAPER
Ban found that paper's structure integrity was better than
most material .Paper tubing being one of the cheapest
materials, especially during reconstruction houses for
disaster relief, was used by Shigeru Ban for such
rehabilitation projects . In these projects, he has used paper
not for being unorthodox but for the economy.
WOOD
Apart from being famous as the Paper Architect'. Shigeru Ban
is one of the famous architect in the world working in wood.
Not only does he build for the rehabilitation victims but also
for wealthy patrons of art. when paper tubes fail to work , he
moves on to wood. Wood may be more expensive than steel
and concrete, but building with timber actually speed up the
construction process. Which ends up cutting costs by the time
the projects is completed. "Steel, concrete - we are just
consuming from a limited amount. Timber is the only
renewable material." he quotes
BAMBOO ROOF
PAPER TUBE STRUCTURE
7. In 1994, Ban proposed a shelter made of cardboard tubes . After the great Hansobe-
Awaji earthquake in 1995 left 310,000 people homeless, he created the first "Paper Log
House" using cardboard tubes for walls and beer cartons weighed by sandbags as
foundations. That would become the prototype for cheap, comfortable, and beautiful
disaster relief buildings.
MATERIAL
AND CONSTRUCT TECHNIQUES
As the installation process is done using fittings and ties, it
is easy to disassemble and reassemble. It's simple and quick
installation means that it is not necessary that the
workmanship is specialized. In addition, the tubular shape
offers the possibility of embedding hydraulic and electrical
systems and optimizes thermal and acoustic resistance (as a
function of the air wall inside the tubes).
8. MATERIAL
AND CONSTRUCT TECHNIQUES
IN 1994, HE PROPOSED A CHANGE IN THE CONCEPT AND DESIGN OF ‘SHELTERS’ AND
TEMPORARY BUILDINGS USING HIS PAPER-TUBE TECHNOLOGY.
THE TUBES ARE COATED FOR WATER RESISTANCE. FOR INSULATION, AN
ADHESIVE WATERPROOF SPONGE TAPE IS SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE TUBES
9. MATERIAL
AND CONSTRUCT TECHNIQUES
IN THE YEAR 2001, IN INDIA, THE CONSTRUCTION
DIFFERED IN MANY WAYS FROM IN JAPAN. SHIGERU
BAN ADAPTED TO THE LIMITATIONS OF MATERIALS
IN THE CONTEXT. HE BUILT THE WALLS OF THE
PAPER TUBES, BUT FOR THE FOUNDATION, THEY
TOOK RUBBLE FROM A COLLAPSED BUILDING AND
MADE TRADITIONAL MUD FLOORS. BAN ALSO
DESIGNED A MORE NOVEL ROOF, UTILIZING THE
NEARBY BAMBOO TO PATTERN AN INTRICATE
VAULTED ROOF AND WHOLE BAMBOO TO THE
RIDGE BEAMS. A LOCALLY WOVEN CANE MAT WAS
PLACED OVER THE BAMBOO RIB VAULTS WHICH
WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A CLEAR PLASTIC
TARPAULIN TO PROTECT FROM RAIN AND HARSH
WIND. GABLES WERE USED TO PROVIDE
VENTILATION, WHERE SMALL HOLES IN THE CAN
MAT ALLOW AIR TO CIRCULATE.
10. Refer to the history and ancient architecture
and especially Greek architecture, using
cardboard tubes

The Papertainer Museum was built at the Seoul
Olympic Park as a temporary exhibition hall to
celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the South
Korean publishing company, Design House.
Its area is
3,455 m2.
The structure has three main parts:
two exhibition halls in the masses where the
containers and paper columns are.
In the middle, there is an
open space that is its focal point
The use of paper and
metal, which are fully
recyclable and easily
available, contributed to
Ban’s ecological design.
17. The choice of wood and pebbles for the floor,
the use of paper tubes in the structure and the
design of space with containers emphasize the
significance of choosing ecological materials
in Ban’s design.

upper part of the
containers both makes the
facade more vibrant and
increases natural light.
