I’m feeling off, these days. I’m seeing things I never saw before. I’m having thoughts I never had before.

Explanation kills drama, as does the impulse to make everything everyone says immediately clear.

Shigeru Ban Is Changing the Priorities of Architecture

Rather than going from one high-profile commission to the next, the architect has an alternative focus: designing shelters for the displaced.

Ban, a designer of houses and visitors’ centers and condominiums and towers, is perhaps more famous as a designer of emergency shelters, for people suffering from earthquakes and floods, for people escaping violence and genocide. 

For them, he has employed a signature material — recycled paper tubes of variable length and thickness. These are available all over the world: You find a smaller version of them at the center of a toilet paper or paper towel roll. Not only are they abundant, they are structurally sound and can serve as the basis for a shelter, a house or even a church. Ban has built all of these — for refugees from the Rwandan genocide in 1994; for victims of the 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan; and for himself, in 1995, a weekend house at the foot of Mount Fuji.
