Design Boom has a look at a new exhibition honoring the humanitarian oeuvre of architect Shigeru Ban, who's creatively used cardboard as a mode of helping those affected by Japan's March 2011 earthquake—from temporary shelters to permanent housing. "Ban's architecture is rooted in the modernist credo that function begets beauty. [...] Disasters create huge problems; architecture's mission is to solve them." [Design Boom; previously]
