Renowned architect Shigeru Ban, celebrated for his innovative use of cardboard in construction, shares his perspective on the role of technology in architecture. He believes that while advancements in technology can enhance certain aspects of design, they do not inherently improve the essence of architecture. Ban emphasizes the importance of craftsmanship and the joy of working with one's hands, which he views as fundamental to the architectural process.
In his view, architecture should prioritize the public good, serving communities and addressing their needs rather than merely showcasing technological prowess. Ban's work often reflects this philosophy, as he creates structures that are not only functional but also environmentally sustainable and socially responsible. His cardboard buildings, which have gained international acclaim, exemplify how simple materials can be transformed into impactful designs. Ultimately, Ban advocates for a return to the core values of architecture, where the focus lies on serving people and enhancing their living environments.
