Add to basketNeuware - Autor Philip Jodidio begibt sich auf eine Reise durch die Welt Shigeru Bans. Er erkundet neu eröffnete, mit Spannung erwartete Gebäude, schildert seinen Ausblick auf die Zukunft des Studios Shigeru Ban und schafft damit eine welt- und zeitumspannende Rundschau der Karriere des japanischen Architekten. Diese Monografie lädt Sie ein, die Entwicklung eines Künstlers zu begleiten, der als Garant für Wunderwerke der Architektur gilt, die an Innovation, Eleganz und Sensibilität unübertroffen sind. Neben frühen Werken, in denen Ban Papierröhren als Strukturelemente etablierte, und unverkennbaren Häusern wie dem Curtain Wall House in Tokio stellt der Band ferner Projekte jüngster Zeit vor, darunter der Swatch/Omega Campus in der Schweiz, ein zweistöckiges Penthouse auf dem Dach eines 140 Jahre alten New Yorker Wahrzeichens sowie La Seine Musicale, ein in den Masterplan Jean Nouvels integrierten Konzertsaal auf der Ile Séguin in Frankreich.Bans Werk möchte vor allem verstehen. Wie funktionieren Gebäude Wie können Abfallmaterialien durch Wiederverwendung aufgewertet werden Antworten darauf formuliert er als erfinderische Lösungsansätze, wie die Nutzung von Papier als Baumaterial. In all den Jahren seiner Karriere blieb Ban, der schon früh zur Symbolfigur der japanischen Architektur wurde, seiner einzigartigen architektonischen Handschrift treu, die seine Projekte in aller Welt auszeichnen. Ruhm und Ehre hielten den Pritzker-Preisträger jedoch nicht davon ab, sein Talent und seine Kreativität auch Menschen in Not zu widmen. Er entwarf Flüchtlingsunterkünfte in Ruanda und Sri Lanka und ermöglichte mit seiner Papierröhrentechnik den raschen Aufbau von Notunterkünften in den Krisengebieten Fukushimas und der Ukraine. Mit seiner lösungsorientierten, großzügigen und eleganten Herangehensweise prägt Shigeru Ban die humanitäre Architektur und definiert die Grenzen seines Fachs immer wieder neu.; Mehrsprachige Ausgabe.

A valuable insight into the works and mind of Japanese architect Shigeru Ban. Author Philip Jodidio explores long anticipated completed buildings, new projects, and a future outlook of the studio Shigeru Ban after TASCHEN has followed his career from the beginning. This monograph is a journey through the years and evolution of an architect who made a name for himself with true architectural marvels that cannot be surpassed in innovation, elegance, and sensibility. Next to early buildings deploying paper tubes as structural elements, as well as houses that challenge as fundamental an idea as walls, like the Curtain Wall House in Tokyo and the Wall-Less House in Nagano’s countryside, we see plenty of recent versatile projects. View a two-story penthouse on top of a 140-year-old New York City landmark cast-iron house, the Swatch/Omega Campus in Switzerland, and La Seine Musicale, a concert hall inserted into an overall master plan conceived by Jean Nouvel for the island Île Seguin in France.
Ban’s work is characterized by a quest to understand buildings and a commitment to save and use otherwise discarded materials, which led him to inventive solutions and to claim the material paper as the staple for several of his projects. Along with this ambition, Ban gave a face to Japanese architecture while staying in touch with his unique architectural handwriting, allowing him to create a magnitude of projects worldwide. The Pritzker Prize-winning architect’s notoriety hasn’t kept him from devoting his talent and innovative ideas to those needing help. He has built shelters for refugees in Rwanda and Sri Lanka, and utilized his paper tube structures to quickly erect emergency accommodations in Fukushima and Ukraine in times of crisis. With his problem-solving, generous, and elegant approach, Shigeru Ban coins humanitarian architecture and keeps pushing the boundaries of his trade.
Shigeru Ban (born in 1957) attended the SCI-Arc in California and the Cooper Union School of Architecture in New York. A member of the Voluntary Architects Network and winner of the Pritzker Prize in 2014, Ban’s innovative use of recycled materials has supported humanitarian efforts around the world. He is based in his native Tokyo, Paris, and New York.
Philip Jodidio studied art history and economics at Harvard and edited Connaissance des Arts for over 20 years. His TASCHEN books include the Homes for Our Time series and monographs on numerous major architects, including Norman Foster, Tadao Ando, Renzo Piano, Jean Nouvel, and Zaha Hadid.
