Shigeru Ban（中图特价艺术书） rb mobi 在线 下载 lit txt 网盘 pdf

Shigeru Ban lives and works in Tokyo, where he teaches

architecture at Keio University. The scope of his practice - he has

houses, museums, pavilions, and other public projects in progress

in France, London, Beijing, Portugal, Brussels, and the United

States - belies a relatively quiet early career in Tokyo. Following

studies at the Southern California Institute of Architecture

(SCI-ARC) and graduation from The Cooper Union in New York, he

established his own firm in Toyko in 1985. During next decade, Ban

built a following in Japan by designing dozens of unique small

houses, exhibitions, and other projects using alternative,

environmentally friendly materials: paper, wood, bamboo and

prefabricated paper products. Following the 1995 earthquake in

Kobe, Japan, Ban responded by designing emergency temporary housing

he calls Paper Log Houses, made out of paper logs, waterproof

sponge tape, and beer crates that could be assembled in a matter of

hours by volunteers and provided shelter for hundreds of displaced

residents. Following on the success of this project, from 1995 to

2000 Ban was a consultant to the United Nations High Commission for

Refugees, advising on temporary housing for displaced populations

in Rwanda, Turkey, and India. He established the Voluntary

Architects' Network (VAN) in 1995, an organization that continues

to promote such humanitarian assistance by architects. Ban has won

several awards, including the Kansai Architect Grand Prize in 1996,

and Best Young Architect of the Year from the Japan Institute of

Architecture in 1997. Ban's fame began to spread rapidly beyond

Japan when he was included in the Museum of Modern Art's

"Un-Private House" exhibition in 1999 with his Curtain Wall House

in Tokyo, a glass-and-steel house where privacy is controlled by

means of monumental, two-story-high curtains along two glass

facades that can be opened or closed. The following year Ban

designed his first museum project in the United States, also at

MoMA: "Paper Arch", an installation of cardboard tubes in a canopy

over the museum's sculpture garden. Also in 2000, he collaborated

with German architect Frei Otto to design the Japan Pavilion at

Expo 2000 in Hannover, a recyclable, organic-shaped structure of

paper stretched over a paper tube armature. The modest names Ban

gives to his projects - "Paper Church", "Library of a Poet",

"Bamboo Furniture House", "Naked House" - express his lack of

pretense and his focus on materials and structure rather than form

for form's sake. This book features 32 of Ban's most exemplary

projects realized since 1993, divided into 5 sections based on the

primary materials or construction principle used: paper, wood,

bamboo, prefabrication, and skin. Each project is documented with

colour photographs, plans, drawings, and a brief, straightforward

project de*ion. In addition, the book contains four sections

of "experimental data", or technical information, printed in red

and black on grey tinted paper. These sections gather diagrams,

tables, sketches, and explanatory text to document the numerous

tests that Ban's office has made over the years to study the

strength, performance, and structural potential of his materials. A

foreword by the distinguished German architect Frei Otto, with whom

Ban has collaborated for several years, introduces the book. Also

included is an essay by Shigeru Ban about his work with Otto on the

Japan Pavilion.

书籍介绍

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.
