Inspiration The roof panels vary in design and overall dimensions, depend-
ing on their location, for several reasons. These panels are
designed acoustically, and the pattern of wood material in each
panel is based on that, as well as on structural performance,
and also the architectural aesthetic quality required, which
involved creating an overall pillow effect, while describing the
shape of feathers of a Heron, which is the official bird for the
city of Richmond.
Evolution of Cardboard Structures
Shigeru Ban

Inspiration The original inspiration for Shigeru Ban’s ues of cardboard Kobe, Japan Following an earthquake, Shigeru Ban implemented tem-
tubes was as a result of disaster relief. In 1994, more than porary cardboard structures as homes for families.
2 million people were rendered homeless when civil war
occured in Rwanada. Cardboard tubes could be used in Foundation: donated beer crates loaded with sandbags.
temporary homes because tubes are easily manufactured, Walls: 106mm diameter, 4mm thick paper tubes, with tent-
cost effective, highly mobile and thus created homes that ing material for the roof.
could be efficiently assembled. Insulation: Waterproof sponge tape backed with adhesive
is sandwiched between the paper tubes of the walls
Cost: The cost of materials for one 52 square meter unit is
below $2000

Kaynasli, Turkey Improving upon the temporary homes in Kobe, some

changes were implemented allowing for larger configura-
tion and more convenient use of regional material.

Improvements
Insulation: Shredded wastepaper was inserted inside the
tubes along the walls and fiberglass in the ceiling
Size: Larger configuration, 3 x 6” (standard size of plywood
in Turkey) to accomodate larger family sizes

Bhuj, India Once again, Shigeru Ban changed the design to better ac-
comodate regional needs and minimize cost.

Foundation: Rubble from destroyed building

Floor: Traditional mud floor
Roof: Split bamboo was applied to the rib vaults and whole
bamboo to the ridge beams. Locally woven cane mats was
placed over the bamboo ribs, followed by a clear plastic
tarpaulin to protect against rain, then another cane mat.
Ventilation: Small holes in the gable mats allowed air to
circulate.
