Shigeru Ban: Emergency shelters made from paper

  • Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
  • Long before sustainability became a buzzword, architect Shigeru Ban had begun his experiments with ecologically-sound building materials such as cardboard tubes and paper. His remarkable structures are often intended as temporary housing, designed to help the dispossessed in disaster-struck nations such as Haiti, Rwanda or Japan. Yet equally often the buildings remain a beloved part of the landscape long after they have served their intended purpose. (Filmed at TEDxTokyo.)

    I grew up in a wooden house with log framing from 1905. It had been renovated a little bit, and my family renovated quite a bit more from 1990 on, but it was still an old house. New houses made of tree materials is something very different. Though the old 2 story log frame house could take an earthquake or a car driving into the wall at high speed, it had very poor thermals, and inefficient use of space. New wooden houses can be made with passive heating (waste water and appliance inefficiency).

    paper can also be made pretty sustainably, but hemp fiber is a bit stronger and more efficient. paper can be made out of yearling trees (less than 3 years a field for harvest, a little more than twice the usable fiber of a hemp crop (which is a 1 year cycle), so hemp is a bit faster). only posted this to remind you that hemp isn't a miracle fiber, but it is a great option.

    My favorite part?
    Paper can be made from bamboo now, with only a little tree pulp and adhesive, from what I learned a few years ago. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world, and now has an even bigger purpose than construction rigging and panda food. Only time I'd have a problem with a paper roll house is when I try to hang up a picture...it would probably ruin the fire-water proofing.

    Ah, but as a fabric fiber, hemp is fantastic! Hemp cord is the strongest natural cording around - 1/2" manila rope & sisal rope have working loads of 325lbs & 225lbs respectively, but 1/2" hemp rope has a working load of 1,900lbs. Hemp rope is also much softer, which unfortunately requires that it be 'tarred' to prevent rot. Hemp fabric is very tough, & often quite beautiful too.

    This is the stuff that we, as a society, should be talking about. Making fully functional structures out of paper rolls? That just seems crazy and unsafe. But it isn't unsafe, it works and if we help spread the word, maybe we can persuade the governments to start funding projects like this where they are needed.

    also you might want to keep in mind that the majority of paper is made from "waste" from other uses of wood, and most wood (at least in the united states) is essentially farmed already (human planted, human grown, human harvested). while in some areas they do harvest wild growth, that isn't all that common anymore. while hemp is great for allot of things, regardless of the awesome ideas this guy has, wood is still king for building allot of things, not just buildings. also is a great co2 sponge

    This is so true, in my country instead of using innovating ideas like this the government prefered to make a deal with a bank in particular (i scratch your bank you scratch mine) and a few other given authorization, and now every house owner is obligated to make a kind of house insurance with conditions have no use for most of the population except for those disaster prone areas, one condition would be if you live in an 8 story building you basically need a biblical flood to get compensation :)

  • @jandroid33

    The 3 storey building out of shipping containers is cool. I was also thinking about that once, because if they could make the house so you could remove your container apartment you could take it and place it in other modular buildings, maybe live in one place in the summer, and another in the winter, put on a cruise ship etc. :-)

  • @desolator108

    Yup. Since the processing of hemp is what makes it more costly - I guess the plants that do so are antiquated & maybe there's room for improvements in the style of processing used, too - what sort of processing does bamboo require? Is it greater or less than the amount of processing required for wood? Can bamboo grow in as many climates & areas as hemp?

    What happens to a piece of paper when it gets wet? It wrinkles, it expands, and the water will soak through. Hold a piece of paper tout in a stream of water what happens to it? It gets wet. But the tighter you can pull those fibers without ripping it the more water runs off of it. Wrinkles will start to form, but the water generally will not soak. Now multiply that many times, not only is the paper in a tube tout, it is reinforced with many layers preventing soaking and giving extra strength.
