This comprehensive monograph documents the early career and innovative structural philosophy of Shigeru Ban, a pivotal figure in contemporary Japanese architecture. Through detailed project studies, the volume examines his pioneering use of unconventional, low-cost materials such as paper tubes and recycled shipping containers to address humanitarian needs and spatial efficiency. It remains an essential reference for understanding his synthesis of traditional Japanese aesthetics and modern structural engineering.
