Just read this from NPR – In The Face Of Disaster, Pritzker Winner Shigeru Ban Designs Solutions : NPR. It tells the story of how architect Shigeru Ban has won the prestigious Pritzker Prize in architecture. In addition to being a very socially conscious architect, Ban also has an interesting connection to microbes and building design. But not perhaps in the way one might think.
What I am talking about is when Shigeru Ban’s Centre Pompidou Met was transformed into a sort of living bacterial art display. See the video below:
