Good Good Good - According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, Korea has had an average of 20 earthquakes yearly since 1978. The high rate of earthquakes — as well as tsunamis, landslides, and floods — inspired architect Shigeru Ban to create a simple solution for families displaced by natural disasters.
In 2023, the world-famous architect created and showcased “Paper Temporary House for Korea,” a project that highlighted the artist’s continuing work in innovative, easily deployable housing. “The prototype of Paper Temporary House for Korea is a simple structure with paper tubes as columns, paper honeycomb boards with Hanji (Korean traditional paper) finish as modular wall panels, and paper tubes as roof structure,” reads a statement Ban’s official website.
“As all materials are lightweight and easy to handle, this house can be built even without skilled contractors or builders.”
