Co-sponsored by the Architectural League of New York and The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture Shigeru Ban AR'84 will speak about his current projects in a lecture co-sponsored by The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture and the Architectural League of New York
 

With a portfolio that spans diverse scales, from refugee housing and other temporary structures, to houses, commercial structures, and cultural facilities, Shigeru Ban's work is united by structural innovation, creative use of unconventional building materials, and environmental sensitivity. The 2014 winner of the Pritzker Prize, Ban was lauded by the jury for "his respect for the people who inhabit his buildings, whether victims of natural disaster or private clients or the public...always revealed through his thoughtful approach, functional plans, carefully selected appropriate materials, and the richness of the spaces he creates."
