<p>From a house without walls to exhibition spaces in shipping containers, <b>Shigeru Ban</b> has constantly challenged architectural rule and expectation. In the age of the "starchitect," he has also demonstrated a commitment to humanitarian practice: Over the course of his esteemed career, his <b>inventive, elegant designs</b> have been applied as much to private commissions as to <b>emergency relief work</b> at the sites of <b>natural and man-made disasters</b> around the world, from Kobe to New Orleans.<br> <br> For the Pritzker Prize jury, which chose Ban as its 2014 winner, the architect manifests <b>"total curiosity and commitment; endless innovation; an infallible eye; an acute sensibility."</b> This updated monograph, <b>compiled with the architect's collaboration</b>, <b>brings together every one of Ban's built works</b>, including such recent projects as the Tamedia headquarters in Zurich, the Aspen Art Museum, and the Cardboard Cathedral in Christchurch.</p>
