<\/a>Shigeru Ban<\/strong><\/em>, born on August 5 in 1957,\u00a0\u00a0is a Japanese architect that gained international acclaim by using unorthodox materials such as cardboard and paper for structures designed to aid disaster victims around the globe.<\/p>\n See Also:\u00a0Mid-Century Vibes Moodboard To Get You In The Design Mood<\/a><\/p>\n His visionary aesthetic, at once fluid and geometric, has taken shape in temporary structures like\u00a0relief housing, a cathedral, and a\u00a0bridge\u2014all with an innate understanding of impermanence, the environment, and humanity.<\/p>\n His ability to design buildings that blend human needs with breathtaking visual dynamism was honed at Manhattan\u2019s Cooper Union School of Architecture, where he studied under John Hejduk, one-fifth of the famed New York Five group of architects.<\/p>\n In addition to his humanitarian work, Ban\u2019s has created museums, homes, and short-term pavilions, each showcasing innovative use of space and material.<\/p>\n According to\u00a0Ban<\/strong>, the only way for\u00a0architects\u00a0to keep their work free from the influence of such transient fashions is to come up with new ways to actually build things \u2014 new materials, for example, or new approaches to structural engineering.<\/p>\n See Also:\u00a0World\u2019s Best Hotel Lobby Designs<\/a><\/p>\n Ban\u2019s\u00a0cardboard cathedral<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0in the largest city on the South Island of New Zealand is among the latest in a succession of projects he has undertaken at the sites of natural and humanitarian disasters.<\/p>\n It was the partial destruction of the city\u2019s original stone-built Christchurch Cathedral in a February 2011 earthquake that prompted him to suggest building a temporary replacement in cardboard.<\/p>\n The undulating fibreglass roof of the\u00a0Centre Pompidou-Metz\u00a0in Metz, France<\/strong><\/em>, forms a large hexagon over the galleries and restaurant within. The museum, whose interior framework resembles the intricate weave of a Chinese hat, has been one of the area\u2019s most popular tourist attractions since it opened in 2010.<\/p>\n Underneath the wooden roof structure is very easy-to-use galleries \u2014 three of them that are each about 90 meters long and 15 meters wide. They pierce the entire structure from end to end. And they are placed at different angles so that at each end they form giant windows overlooking different monuments within the town.<\/p>\n Located two hours outside Seoul, South Korea, the\u00a0Haesley Nine Bridges Golf Clubhouse<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>features a distinctive glass atrium with treelike timber columns that seamlessly integrate with the ceiling\u2019s hexagonal wood grid. Completed in 2009, the clubhouse features separate spaces for regular members and VIPs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you like this article about\u00a0Shigeru Ban \u2013 Amazing Japanese Design<\/strong>, follow us at Facebook<\/a><\/span>, Pinterest<\/a><\/span> and Instagram<\/a>!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Shigeru Ban, born on August 5 in 1957,\u00a0\u00a0is a Japanese architect that gained international acclaim by using unorthodox materials such as cardboard and paper for structures designed to aid disaster…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":4496,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6],"tags":[2843,189,33],"yst_prominent_words":[2831,2829,2837,2834,2830,2828,2826,2833,2842,2841,2839,2836,2832,2840,2838,2835,2822,2827,2825,2824],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspirationdesignbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4494"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspirationdesignbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspirationdesignbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspirationdesignbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspirationdesignbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4494"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/inspirationdesignbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4494\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4509,"href":"https:\/\/inspirationdesignbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4494\/revisions\/4509"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspirationdesignbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspirationdesignbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspirationdesignbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspirationdesignbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4494"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspirationdesignbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=4494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/inspirationdesignbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2.jpg\")
