Skrevet af SHIGURU BAN
In 1994, after seeing photographs of the plastic sheets given to Rwandan
refugees as protection from the elements, Shigeru Ban went to the
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to propose ideas for
better shelters. His temporary housing has employed everything from
plastic beer cartons to paper tubes to create ingeniously flexible
spaces. By sourcing unconventional, recycled, inexpensive, local and
sustainable materials, he stimulates devastated economies by involving
local resources and labour. This volume is the first book-length study
to collect, catalogue and examine these works.
