The building of Shigeru-Ban and the Japanese architecture in general

Shigeru-Ban has been a part of Yuri for several years. This happened in the years between 2006 and 2009. He was born on 5 August 1957. 2014 he got the prize. According to the current Yuri, his work symbolizes the mission of Pritzker. But in our opinion, it also symbolizes the best of modern Japanese architecture.
