Des abris d’urgence à une cathédrale de carton et des espaces d’exposition dans des conteneurs de transport, l’architecte Shigeru Ban, lauréat du prix Pritzker, s’est fait connaître par sa réactivité et son inépuisable créativité face aux situations et aux matériaux comme par son action humanitaire sur le terrain de catastrophes naturelles ou provoquées par l’homme. Selon le spécialiste Riichi Miyake, le travail de Ban représente «un équivalent, en architecture, de Médecins sans frontières».
Animé par une poésie qu’il traduit en trois dimensions, Ban utilise les matériaux comme une partie intégrante de ses créations et les choisit non pour leurs propriétés innovantes, mais plutôt pour leur pouvoir expressif et leur capacité à traduire l’idée générale d’une construction. Ainsi, Ban a notamment fait un usage régulier de tubes de carton pour des projets aussi divers que le pavillon du Japon à l’Expo 2000 de Hanovre et les Paper Log Houses aux Philippines, construites après le typhon Haiyan en novembre 2013.
Cette introduction de référence, conçue en collaboration avec Ban, présente ses projets majeurs réalisés à ce jour afin d’explorer la portée et l’importance de celui qui est, selon les mots du jury du prix Pritzker, un «professeur engagé servant non seulement de modèle aux jeunes générations, mais aussi de source d’inspiration».

Hardback. Etat : New. From emergency relief shelters to a cardboard cathedral and exhibition spaces in shipping containers, Pritzker Prize-winning architect Shigeru Ban has made his name with his restlessly inventive response to material and situation, as much as with his humanitarian work at the sites of natural and man-made disasters. According to scholar Riichi Miyake, Ban's work represents "an architectural iteration of Doctors Without Borders."In the spirit of three-dimensional poetry, Ban uses materials as an integral part of his design, selected not for their cutting-edge credentials but rather for their expressive ability, their capacity to convey the building's overall concept. In particular, Ban has made regular use of paper tubing in projects as varied as the Japanese Pavilion at Expo 2000 in Hanover and the Paper Log Houses in the Philippines, built after Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013.This essential introduction, compiled with Ban's own collaboration, presents his most important projects to date, surveying the full reach and importance of, in the words of the Pritzker Prize jury, a "committed teacher who is not only a role model for younger generations, but also an inspiration.".
