A STUDY OF SHIGERU BAN’S ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN APPROACH

Abstract

Shigeru Ban is a Japanese architect who brought a new approach to contemporary modern architectural design with his material selection and techniques. Ban creates his designs with easily obtainable and affordable materials, and is appreciated for his ideology and his humanitarian aid projects. This research analyzes Ban’s environmentally sensitive design approach and the natural materials used in the Japanese Pavilion in Germany, the Papertainer Museum in South Korea, the Centre Pompidou Metz in France and the Cardboard Cathedral in New Zealand. The paper tube technology that Ban developed and implemented is analyzed as a construction material and sustainable design. It also evaluates Ban’s contribution to sustainable design.
