This exhibition introduces the works of Shigeru Ban, the architect who also designed the MDS|G Gallery. Traditionally, only the wealthy can afford to have a famous architect build their designer mansion. However Ban's works are built for people in need of shelters, such as refugees or victims of natural disasters, and they are then built by students.

坂茂:災害支援と学生参加の建築

かつて東ドイツでは「トラバント」という紙製の車が製造されていた、というまことしやかな話を時々耳にする。だがよくよく調べてみるとこれは、紙を幾重にもコーティングしたものをそのトラバントの車体として利用していたということらしい。
