Later he went to <a href="/wiki/Cooper_Union" title="Cooper Union">Cooper Union's School of Architecture</a>, where he studied under <a href="/wiki/John_Hejduk" title="John Hejduk">John Hejduk</a> and graduated in 1984.<sup id="cite_ref-Pritzker_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Pritzker-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> From Hejduk (who was a part of the <a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Five" title="The New York Five">New York Five</a>), Ban gained an interest in "architectonic poetics" or the creation of "three-dimensional poetry".

That is, he does not overly express his structural elements, but rather chooses to incorporate them into the design. Ban is not interested in the newest materials and techniques, but rather the expression of the concept behind his building. He deliberately chooses materials to further this expression. </p><p>Ban's work encompasses several schools of architecture. First he is a Japanese architect, and uses many themes and methods found in traditional Japanese architecture (such as <a href="/wiki/Sh%C5%8Dji" class="mw-redirect" title="Shōji">shōji</a>) and the idea of a "universal floor" to allow continuity between all rooms in a house. In his buildings, this translates to a floor without change in elevation. By choosing to study under Hejduk, Ban opted to do something different. Hejduk's <a href="/wiki/Rationalism" title="Rationalism">rationalist</a> views on architecture provided a way of revisiting Western modernism and gaining a richer appreciation than the reductive vision of it as a rationalized version of the traditionalist—yet ultra-modern—Japanese space. With his Western education and influences, Ban has become one of the forerunning Japanese architects who embrace the expression of Western and Eastern building forms and methods. Perhaps most influential from Hejduk was the study of the structure of architectural systems. Ban is most famous now for his innovative work with paper and cardboard tubing as a <a href="/wiki/Building_material" title="Building material">building material</a>. He was the first architect in Japan to construct a building primarily out of paper with his paper house, and required special approval for his building to pass Japan's <a href="/wiki/Building_code" title="Building code">building code</a>. Ban is attracted to using paper because it is low cost, recyclable, low-tech and replaceable. The last aspect of Ban's influences is his humanitarianism and his attraction to ecological architecture. Ban's work with paper and other materials is heavily based on its <a href="/wiki/Sustainable" class="mw-redirect" title="Sustainable">sustainability</a> and because it produces very little waste. As a result of this, Ban's <a href="/wiki/DIY" class="mw-redirect" title="DIY">DIY</a> <a href="/wiki/Refugee_shelter" title="Refugee shelter">refugee shelters</a> (used in Japan after the <a href="/wiki/Kobe_earthquake" class="mw-redirect" title="Kobe earthquake">Kobe earthquake</a>, in <a href="/wiki/Turkey" title="Turkey">Turkey</a>, <a href="/wiki/Rwanda" title="Rwanda">Rwanda</a> and around the world) are very popular and effective for low-cost disaster relief-housing.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Ban created the Japanese pavilion building at <a href="/wiki/Expo_2000" title="Expo 2000">Expo 2000</a> in <a href="/wiki/Hanover" title="Hanover">Hanover</a>, <a href="/wiki/Germany" title="Germany">Germany</a> in collaboration with the architect <a href="/wiki/Frei_Otto" title="Frei Otto">Frei Otto</a> and structural engineers <a href="/wiki/Buro_Happold" title="Buro Happold">Buro Happold</a>.

He found paper's structural integrity to be much better than expected and noted that it is also available all around the world. The structures are most commonly available from manufacturers providing paper tubes for use in textile factories, as in the case with the disaster relief shelters project in <a href="/wiki/Ahmedabad" title="Ahmedabad">Ahmedabad</a>, <a href="/wiki/India" title="India">India</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Toshiko_Mori_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Toshiko_Mori-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup><i>pg29</i></sup> </p><p>Limited material availability during times of disaster relief reconstruction is a major concern and involves increased market prices. Paper tubing on the other hand, not being a typical building material, is comparatively inexpensive and very accessible. In a special case in <a href="/wiki/Turkey" title="Turkey">Turkey</a> in 1999, Ban was able to get paper tubing for free. Paper tubing also proved advantageous for building emergency shelters during the <a href="/wiki/Great_Lakes_refugee_crisis" title="Great Lakes refugee crisis">Rwanda refugee crisis</a> in 1994, where the use of trees for framing was creating deforestation problems, and alternative construction materials were difficult to find. The United Nations supplemented wood with aluminum piping but this was very expensive, and in the end the refugees sold off the aluminum for money. The refugees then reverted to cutting trees for building materials.<sup id="cite_ref-Toshiko_Mori_11-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Toshiko_Mori-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup><i>pg30</i></sup> Switching to paper tubing for frames helped save money, prevent theft and conserve the local trees.
