Paper houses by Shigeru Ban




This Paper Partition System one of his disaster relief project created for Japanese people after the tsunami happened 2011. As a Japanese, the disaster was the terror which I can never forget. When the victims had to live in a gymnasium all together, how to keep their privacies protected was a big problem. This partition system is so simple but really clever to separate their private spaces apart with low cost and no difficulties. Also it is reusable when it is in needs and could thrown away easily.

While most of the Japanese people felt impatient with their uselessness in helping those victims, I adore how Ban supported them immediately with his clever design. I yearn to be a designer like him who could contribute toward overcoming any difficulties for the people.
