Shigeru Ban: Architecture of Paper

when i saw this article i was very intrigue by it, by the use of these cardboard paper tubes by architect Shigeru Ban.


Ban's weekend residence, the Paper House in Lake Yamanaka, Yamanashi, Japan.


The Paper House - first Ban structure.


The Nomadic Museum in New York.


chair with detachable legs made of industrial-strength paper tubes.

"paper is made out of trees," Ban says. "humans create architect are out of trees, so it must be possible to create architecture of paper."
