内容简介
······
Based in Japan and one of an emerging generation of young, world-class architects, Shigeru Ban (b.1957) designs and builds graceful, serene structures using modest and experimental materials such as cardboard, paper tubes, bamboo and prefabricated wood. His buildings are sometimes soaring and birdlike, sometimes simple, grounded, and evocative of the Japanese aesthetic, but always harmoniously integrated with, and respectful of, their surrounding environments.
Ban has designed projects at both ends of the client spectrum: from one-room temporary houses made of paper tubes for earthquake refugees worldwide to a 14,000 square-foot country house in Sharon, Connecticut, his first US commission. His humanitarian efforts and his interest in recyclable, affordable, natural materials have won praise and attention from museums and critics in America and Europe. Ban's 'Curtain Wall House' was a favourite entry in the Museum of Modern Art's 'Un-Private House' exhibition in 1999. He has gone on to design a museum for children in Japan, a canal museum in France, and a private art museum in Belgium. He was included in the 2000 and 2002 Venice Biennales, and created the Japan Pavilion for Expo 2000 in Hanover, Germany. He was a member of the Think team of architects selected in February 2003 as one of two final teams to compete for the commission to design the new World Trade Center site in New York.
This monograph is only the second book on Ban in print and, unlike the first publication, it is impressively up-to-the-minute and exhaustive. Designed in Japan and in collaboration with Ban himself, Shigeru Ban is divided into sections that reflect with sensitivity the architect's approach to materials, and presents 32 entire projects – all of which are illustrated with colour photographs, plans and sketches.

作为一本MONOGRAPHIE，这本书里提供的资料足够给5星了，不但包括一些解剖图列，甚至还有对材料的测试数据，虽然这一部分并不是很看得懂。 对于坂茂，从大学时代就一直醉心与他的一些设计，那种日本人的细密一丝不苟，又不失大气，更加令人过目难忘。

非常优秀的一本书了。结构按照“PAPER-WOOD-BAMBOO-PREFABRICATION-SKIN” 5个板块来阐述坂茂2004年前的各个作品。纸筒之外发现了蜂窝板这种建材，inspiring. 纸管的映象太深，导致我一直以为他是一个走硬技术型的建筑师，直到看到“PREFABRICATION”和“SKIN”里的几个空间和表皮的实验。密斯和柯布西耶的精神在他的作品里可以看到，他在努力追求一种流…
