🎬 Wim Wenders, director of Perfect Days (2023), used public restrooms in Tokyo to highlight the profound themes of solitude, simplicity, and beauty in everyday life that his film explores. A couple of these striking public restrooms 🚻 were designed by Shigeru Ban. These colored glass toilets feature transparent walls that allow users to check if they are in use. When occupied, the tinted facades turn opaque to ensure privacy. One of the rectilinear structures, clad in shades of orange, pink, and purple 🟠🟣, is located in Yoyogi Fukamachi Mini Park, while another, with blue and green walls 🔵🟢, complements the natural surroundings of Haru-no-Ogawa Community Park 🌳. A beautiful reflection on architecture’s role in our daily rituals. ✨ #Architecture #Design #Film #ShigeruBan #WimWenders #PublicSpace #TokyoToilets #PerfectDays #Humanity #AwardWinningFilm
概要
Shigeru Ban Architects is a multidisciplinary design firm with offices located in Tokyo, Paris, and New York. Founded as a small practice in Japan in 1985, the firm has grown to a global office of 75, with over 150 projects constructed across 6 continents. As a practice with substantial work operating across borders, SBA is inherently diverse. Our unique design approach stems from conceptual clarity supported by spatial and material innovations. SBA is a global leader in contemporary mass timber design, from the Centre Pompidou-Metz (Metz, France, 2010) to the recently completed Swatch and Omega Campus (Biel, Switzerland, 2019), one of the largest hybrid mass timber building projects in the world. Terrace House, a 19-story residential project currently under construction in Vancouver, BC, Canada, will be among the tallest hybrid mass timber buildings in the world. Our holistic design methodology considers carefully tuned approaches to the climate and environment, a necessity for global responsibility, as well as human comfort and building efficiency. The firm also operates the Voluntary Architects' Network (VAN, est. 1995), an NGO dedicated to the design and construction of humanitarian relief projects. Shigeru believes that the knowledge and skills of an architect should not be limited to designing only for the privileged, but rather, architects can raise the quality of living for all humankind by helping those in need.

✨ Last week, we had the privilege of participating in the 2024 YC Foundation Lecture at The Cooper Union 👥 Dean Maltz, Class of 1984 and Partner at Shigeru Ban Architects, introduced fellow Cooper Union alumnus Shigeru Ban, celebrating the 40th anniversary of their graduation. Dean and Shigeru’s friendship—formed during their student days—has grown into a “family” of over 80 talented professionals working with Shigeru Ban Architects globally. 🌍 🎤 On the same stage where students recently assembled a Paper Log House (now displayed at the The Glass House in New Canaan, CT), Shigeru's presentation inspired the audience with insights on architecture, sustainability, and humanitarian design. 🌱🏠 The event concluded with an engaging Q&A session with Acting Dean of the School of Architecture, Hayley Eber.

This past Saturday, Shigeru Ban had the honor to be interviewed by Naomi Pollock, FAIA, at an inspiring evening at The Glass House. Together, they discussed Shigeru Ban: The Paper Log House, a special exhibition highlighting humanitarian works, currently on display at The Glass House through December 15 🏠🌍. The evening, part of The Glass House’s 75th Anniversary 🎉, included a cocktail reception 🍸 and an intimate dinner 🍽️ in the Painting Gallery, surrounded by iconic works by Frank Stella and Andy Warhol 🎨. We hope it was a memorable experience for all guests! We were thrilled to see the event spark conversation and delight 💬✨. Thank you to all who attended and to The Japan Foundation, New York, Kentucky Owl Bourbon, LLC and GROHE Spa, for their generous support! 🙏 #ShigeruBan #NaomiPollock #FrankStella #AnyWarhol #TheGlassHouse #HumanitarianArchitecture #75thAnniversary #PaperLogHouse #ArchitectureForGood #GroheSpa #KOP #JapanFoundationNewYork

We're excited to share the reimagined Seizan Golf Clubhouse in Karuizawa ⛳🏞️, a resort town in the mountains of the Chūbu region in Central Japan 🗾. The start of a larger effort to redevelop the esteemed golf course's clubhouse originally built in 1961 🏛️, the first step was to renovate a utilitarian structure into a temporary clubhouse and public restaurant 🍽️. SBA's concept creates a welcoming and open interior space 🏡 that foreshadows the new clubhouse. To minimize material waste ♻️ during demolition, paper tubes made of recycled paper were used for walls and ceilings to create an organic space with a wood-like warmth 🌿🌲. 👉 Click to learn more about Seizan Golf Clubhouse: https://lnkd.in/ek5VJUJ2 #ShigeruBanArchitects #ShigeruBan #NewProject #Golf #Clubhouse #Renovation #PaperTube #Architecture #SeizanGolfClubhouse
