Reviews
"The Japanese master of innovation and sustainable architecture, Toyko-based Shigeru Ban has pioneered working with timber, and this book celebrates just that. Employing wood and bamboo in his designs, materials with proven positive effect in health and wellness, both physical and emotional, Ban is behind projects such as the headquarters of Swatch and Omega, as well as the Aspen Museum, the Pompidou Metz, the Mount Fuji World Heritage Center, and La Seine Musicale Performance Hall in Paris. This lavish publication studies them all, delving deeper into the art of designing and building with timber, from private projects to emergency shelters and anything in between." —WALLPAPER*
"Pritzker-winning architect Shigeru Ban has designed everything from museums and private homes to churches and emergency shelters. In his latest book, he flaunts his incredible portfolio of projects that use timber in extraordinary ways." —THE GRAND TOURIST
