Shigeru Ban Shigeru Ban (坂 茂 Ban Shigeru) lahir tahun
1957 adalah seorang arsitek Jepang yang dikenal karena
karya arsitektur kertasnya yang inovatif, terutama
pendaurulangan tabung kardus yang dimanfaatkan secara
efisien untuk membangun hunian bagi korban bencana
alam. Ia dinobatkan oleh majalah Time sebagai salah
seorang tokoh yang paling inovatif pada abad ke-21 dalam
bidang arsitektur dan desain.

Pada tahun 2014, Ban menjadi penerima Penghargaan

Arsitektur Pritzker ke-37, penghargaan yang paling
bergengsi dalam dunia arsitektur. Dewan juri Pritzker
menghargai inovasinya dalam memanfaatkan material dan
dedikasinya bagi upaya kemanusiaan di seluruh dunia,
menyebutnya sebagai "seorang guru yang tidak hanya
menjadi panutan bagi generasi muda, tetapi juga menjadi
inspirasi".
 Theory of Arch
Ban, who has been celebrated for his socially conscious
architecture, says, “I have no interest in ‘Green,’ ‘Eco,’ and
‘Environmentally Friendly.’ I just hate wasting things.”

Ban’s work lay underneath the plastic: a simple skeleton of

recycled-paper tubes, fitted together with plastic joints and
braced with ropes describing the pattern of an unfinished star.

Materials—in his case, paper tubes, shipping containers, beer

crates, sustainably sourced wood—and their capabilities have
always been Ban’s primary concern, placing his work in sharp
contrast to the spectacular, parametric, digitally derived
architecture that dominates today. “I’m not the architect to
make a shape,” he told me firmly. “My designs are always
problem solving.”

Using inexpensive, everyday materials, Ban has created a
variety of structures for disaster survivors: houses,
churches, classrooms.
Cardboard Cathedral
The Cardboard Cathedral, constructed as simple A-
frame structure from 98 equally sized cardboard tubes
and 8 steel shipping containers, is said to be one of the
safest, earthquake-proof buildings in Christchurch.
Aside from the building’s structural integrity, each
paper tube is coated waterproof polyurethane and
flame retardants while protected by a semi-
transparent, polycarbonate roof.

Shigeru Ban, who has been developing the recycled

tubes as an emergency relief building material since
1986, declared that “the strength of the building has
nothing to do with the strength of the material.” He
stated, “Even concrete buildings can be destroyed by
earthquakes very easily, but paper buildings cannot.”
 Ban’s vision for the new AAM is based on
transparency and open view planes—inviting
those outside to engage with the building’s
interior, and providing those inside the
opportunity to see their exterior
surroundings.
