Shigeru Ban by Matilda McQuaid Pdf

Shigeru Ban (b.1957), based in Japan, is a rising star among world-class architects. This book features 32 of Ban's most exemplary projects of the past 10 years, divided into 5 sections based on the primary materials or construction principle used: Paper, Wood, Bamboo, Prefabrication, and Skin. Each project is documented with color photographs, plans, drawings, and a brief, straightforward project description. In addition, the book contains four sections of 'experimental data,' or technical information, printed in red and black on gray tinted paper. These sections gather diagrams, tables, sketches, and explanatory text to document the numerous tests that Ban's office has made over the years to study the strength, performance, and structural potential of his materials. A foreword by the distinguished German architect Frei Otto, with whom Ban has collaborated for several years, introduces the book. Also included is an essay by Shigeru Ban about his work with Otto on the Japan Pavilion.

Shigeru Ban Architects by Philip Jodidio Pdf

Designed and constructed with the precision of a Swiss watch, this monumental hybrid timber campus charts an architectural roadmap toward the future. Completed in 2019, the Swatch and Omega Campus in Biel (Bienne), Switzerland, is a magnificent example of technology, design, and environmental sustainability working in concert to create a space that promotes the health of users and the planet. This book illustrates every aspect of the project, including drawings, plans, and numerous interior and exterior photographs. Pritzker Prize-winning architect Shigeru Ban has experienced firsthand the trauma of natural disasters, which he has addressed in numerous emergency-relief projects. With the Swatch and Omega campus, Ban demonstrates how sustainable architecture can benefit industry as well, and why he promotes timber as the planet's only truly renewable resource. Philip Jodidio introduces readers to the buildings' ingenious and cutting-edge features--a serpentine, cocoon-like facade that echoes the playful elements of the Swatch brand; a gridshell roof structure consisting of thousands of precisely interlocking timber pieces. The Omega buildings with their clean straight lines are equally innovative and express the contrast between the two related brands. A feat of forward-thinking architecture, this corporate headquarters represents a benchmark for future building projects around the world.

Think Like Shigeru Ban by Publishing Pdf

Think Like Shigeru Ban is a beautiful children’s and family book about architecture, social good and using one’s artistic skills to help others. Ban is an internationally renowned architect who created a system of temporary shelters to help disaster victims and refugees. Think Like Shigeru Ban is a beautifully designed and produced illustrated book that inspires children and families to learn about the remarkable work of renowned architect Shigeru Ban. Ban devotes part of his time to helping others by creating temporary shelters for disaster victims and refugees. He has designed buildings all over the world—museums, office buildings, cultural venues, and houses. In addition to high-profile projects, he regularly comes to the aid of refugees and disaster victims by designing temporary shelters that are typically made from recyclable paper tubes. He has created buildings such as a school after the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, shelters after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, and a church—the Cardboard Cathedral—in New Zealand after the 2011 Canterbury earthquake. His innovative approach to materials and design is a theme that runs throughout his work, while his insistence on the aesthetic quality of his relief projects further distinguishes them. Think Like Shigeru Ban is the first title in the Think Like series. The books encourage children and families to explore the rich world of the arts and art making by inviting them into the creative process and introducing them to internationally known artists who work toward social or environmental good through their art. The series approaches art making and the idea of positive change in a way that is accessible, appealing, and welcoming.
