This important volume is the first book-length study to collect, catalogue and examine Shigeru Ban’s architectural responses to disaster relief. Essays and discussions of individual projects, moredrawings in the artist’s hand, instruction manuals, diverse photographs and a timeline and map make an essential compendium for the most personal and relevant aspect of Ban’s work. The book is a major contribution to the broad subjects of humanitarian relief and sustainable design solutions, and provides an inspiring testament to Ban’s ongoing dedication to our planet and its people.
