Pritzker Prize-winning architect Shigeru Ban to visit Vilnius: When Architecture Becomes a Source of Support for People
Pritzker Prize-winning architect Shigeru Ban to visit Vilnius: When Architecture Becomes a Source of Support for People
On September 22, Shigeru Ban, one of the most prominent figures in contemporary architecture and a Pritzker Architecture Prize laureate, will deliver a public lecture in Vilnius. The Japanese architect views architecture as a means of helping people affected by natural disasters, conflicts, and humanitarian crises. This will be Shigeru Ban’s first visit to Lithuania—he will be a guest at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH), where he will deliver a presentation in English titled “Balancing Architectural Works and Social Contributions.” During the lecture, the architect will share more than thirty years of experience, covering both innovative architectural design and humanitarian work. In 1995, the architect founded the nongovernmental organisation “Voluntary Architects’ Network,” which assists people affected by disasters. That same year, he became a consultant to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). For his creative work and social contributions, the architect has received numerous international awards, including the 2014 Pritzker Architecture Prize. Shigeru Ban is one of the world’s most renowned architects: the Centre Pompidou-Metz in France, the Mt. Fuji World Heritage Centre, and the Oita Prefecture Art Museum, are just a few of the many he has designed that have gone down in the history of world architecture. Paper tubes, wood, and architecture that builds resilient communities—this is the innovative direction of the creator, which is something we all desperately need in today’s world. The lecture is organised by the VILNIUS TECH Faculty of Architecture community in collaboration with the Embassy of Japan in Lithuania. A question-and-answer session will follow the lecture. The lecture will take place on September 22 at 12:00 p.m. in Auditorium T2 209 at VILNIUS TECH, Trakų g. 1, Vilnius. Attendance is free, but please inform about your participation by filling out this registration form. The event will be held in English. Photography may take place during the event.
