Shigeru Ban is the winner of the Pritzker Price for 2014, the most valuable prize an architect can receive (the so-called “Nobel Prize of architecture!).
The beloved Japanese architect was honoured a couple of days ago and we believe it was one of the most fair decisions the committee has taken, since its decisions over the last years were highly questioned.
Shigeru Ban, with his unique ability to use everyday materials such as paper, bamboo, textile or even useless items, has became a pioneer on the perception of the architectural practice.
With his fresh ideas he has altered the way architects deal nowadays with everyday tasks and challenges.

He has underlined the importance of the budget for the completion of a project and at the same time he has deconstructed the relation between budget and quality by replacing it with the inventiveness.
OFFICETWENTYFIVEARCHITECTS are great fans of his work and his monography is in our shelves for years now!
