El arquitecto japonés Shigeru Ban utiliza tubos de cartón en lugar de madera para la construcción, ya que son más baratos, duraderos y ecológicos. Ban diseña sus proyectos realizando bocetos, planos detallados y maquetas antes de construir estructuras complejas con tubos de cartón de diferentes tamaños y formas, lo que le ha permitido construir edificios, puentes, refugios y muebles en todo el mundo. Recientemente recibió el mayor premio de arquitectura a nivel mundial.

REVIVING THE PAST :- EXPLORING THE BEAUTY AND SIGNIFICANCE OF RESTORATION ARCHITECTURE
INTRODUCTION
In a world where modernity often takes center stage, there is an undeniable charm in preserving and restoring the architectural gems of the past. Restoration architecture not only revitalizes historical structures but also serves as a bridge between the past and the present. This blog will delve into the fascinating world of restoration architecture, exploring its importance, techniques, and showcasing some remarkable examples from around the globe.
The Significance of Restoration Architecture
Restoration architecture is more than just a preservation effort; it is a commitment to honoring our cultural heritage and understanding the historical context of a place. It goes beyond superficial repairs, aiming to bring back the original character and charm of a structure.
IMPORTANCE OF RESTORATION
Preserving cultural identity :- Restoration architecture plays a pivotal role in maintaining a connection to our cultural roots. By restoring historical buildings, we ensure that the stories embedded in their walls are not lost to time. Sustainable practice :- Instead of tearing down and rebuilding, restoration minimizes the environmental impact. It is a sustainable practice that values existing resources and craftsmanship, contributing to a more eco-friendly approach to architecture. Educational value :- Restored buildings serve as living textbooks, offering valuable lessons about architectural styles, construction techniques, and the historical context in which they were built.
TECHNIQUES IN RESTORATION
Historical research :- Before embarking on any restoration project, thorough historical research is conducted to understand the original design, materials used, and the socio-cultural context of the structure. Conservation philosophy :- Restoration architects adhere to a conservation philosophy that emphasizes retaining as much of the original fabric as possible. This may involve repairing, rather than replacing, elements of the building. Use of traditional materials and craftsmanship :- To maintain authenticity, restoration architects often use traditional materials and craftsmanship techniques. This ensures that the restored structure closely resembles its original form.
Examples of Restoration Architecture
Now, let's explore some noteworthy examples of restoration architecture that have successfully revived historical buildings.
1. THE COLOSSEUM, ROME, ITALY The iconic Colosseum stands as a testament to the success of restoration efforts. Dating back to AD 80, this ancient amphitheater has undergone various phases of restoration to address structural issues caused by natural disasters and human activities. The intricate work carried out on the Colosseum showcases the delicate balance between preserving the original design and ensuring the safety of visitors.w

of paper log houses in Kobe and Turkey, schools in
China, clusters of paper temporary shelters in Haiti
a temporary concert hall in Italy and ‘container
housing following the recent tsunami in northern
Japan, all soon after earthquake damage. Shigeru
Ban has visited Christchurch now seven times and
designed, pro bono, a Transitional Cathedral for the
city. The building will be iconic, designed to reflect
aspects of the past in a completely new vision for
the future.
4. Transitional Cathedral:
Innovative and Sustainable
Cardboard is an ideal building material because it’s
readily available, recyclable and surprisingly strong.
“The strength of the building has nothing to do with
the strength of the material,” says Shigeru Ban. “Even
concrete buildings can be destroyed by earthquakes
very easily. But paper buildings cannot be destroyed
by earthquakes.” It’s also consistently low-cost.
“Normally after disasters the price of building
materials goes higher, but since this is not a traditional
building material, it’s very easy to get,” he says.
Ban’s temporary buildings are weatherproof, fire
resistant and secure, and have lasted for upwards
of 20 years. They can be transported easily and
deconstructed and recycled when their working life
is over.

The Transitional Cathedral will be one of the first

buildings are being removed. It will be a symbol
of hope for a rebuilt, renewed Christchurch. It will
have an ‘after life’ as a a worship space for the St
John’s Anglican Church congregation following the
demolition of their church and buildings.
6. Transitional Cathedral:
Return to the Central City
The Transitional Cathedral will support the council’s
plans to promote a return to the central city. It
will complement the retail hub in Cashel Mall and
similar initiatives, as well as encourage visitors,
with a unique and innovative design. Shigeru
Ban’s buildings attract tourists. The paper church
he designed after the Kobe earthquake in Japan
was moved after 11 years to Taiwan, where it
remains today, more than 20 years after its initial
construction, as one of the most notable visitor
attractions in the country. It is recognised as a
fascinating structure of beauty and intrigue, as ours
will be.
Transitional Cathedral:
Strengthening links
Christchurch already has a sister city relationship
with Kurashiki, in the Okayama Prefecture of Japan.
Employing Shigeru Ban’s design will help build
further links between Japan and New Zealand.
The Transitional Cathedral represents a sense of
solidarity and support for reconstruction from one
earthquake-ravaged country to the other.
7. Transitional Cathedral:
Design
The design of the Transitional Cathedral is
deceptively simple. It is an A-frame structure based
on a concrete foundation, stabilised with shipping
containers. Shigeru Ban reports that the A-Frame is
the most stable shape for buildings in earthquake
zones.
The roofline rises and the building narrows towards
the sanctuary, creating a beautiful interior view
of the waves of cardboard columns as they bow
towards the altar. This is intended to welcome and
draw people in. The liturgical space is extremely
flexible – there is no fixed seating (the pews in the
model are intended for scale only). The body of the
Cathedral seats 500, and there is further space
for 200 in a ‘landing area’/ atrium at the entrance
end of the Cathedral. This is the space where it
is anticipated that hospitality will be provided.
Shigeru Ban has designed smaller container-spaces
lined with cardboard tubes accessed by ‘wave-like’
cardboard doors, and with ceiling funnels to allow
natural light.
