awesomeness #3

Shigeru Ban, one of my favorite architects, is pretty awesome. Just the way he thinks about using standardized, banal materials like paper tubes and shipping containers in poetic ways is very inspiring. Materials to build with are everywhere, and are usually free or cheap. Its the imagination to re-use them that is a rare find. Check out this Nomadic Museum he designed a few years ago. Its moved around from city to city for changing exhibtions.
