An exhibition at Philip Johnson's former estate in New Canaan, Conn., features a Paper Log House, designed by architect Shigeru Ban as a low-cost, resilient structure initially to house Great Hanshin Earthquake victims.
The Paper Log House, now exhibited at the estate and assembled by students, features vertical paper tubes for walls and a roof made from paper tubes and plywood connectors, highlighting its strength and adaptability in disaster situations.
Shigeru Ban's Paper Log Houses, utilized around the globe as emergency shelters, demonstrate customization using local materials like paper and woven coconut leaves, showcasing adaptability to diverse environments and needs.
