Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.00,0:00:02.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hi. I am an architect.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:02.00,0:00:04.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I am the only architect in the world
Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.00,0:00:07.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,making building out of paper like this cardboard tube,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.00,0:00:09.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this exhibition is the first one I did
Dialogue: 0,0:00:09.00,0:00:12.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,using paper tubes.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.00,0:00:15.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1986, much, much longer before people started talking
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.00,0:00:19.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about ecological issues and environmental issues,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.00,0:00:23.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I just started testing the paper tube
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.00,0:00:25.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in order to use this as a building structure.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.00,0:00:31.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's very complicated to test the new material for the building,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.00,0:00:34.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but this is much stronger than I expected,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.00,0:00:36.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and also it's very easy to waterproof,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.00,0:00:38.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and also, because it's industrial material,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.00,0:00:40.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's also possible to fireproof.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.00,0:00:44.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I built the temporary structure, 1990.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.00,0:00:47.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is the first temporary building out of paper.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.00,0:00:51.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are 330 tubes, diameter 55,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.00,0:00:53.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but there are only 12 tubes diameter,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.00,0:00:56.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's 120 centimeters, four feet wide.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.00,0:00:58.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As you see it in the photo, inside is the toilet.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.00,0:01:01.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In case you're finished with toilet paper,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.00,0:01:03.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can tear those things out of the wall.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.00,0:01:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's very useful.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.00,0:01:09.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Year 2000, there was a big expo in Germany.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.00,0:01:12.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was asked to design the building,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.00,0:01:15.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because [inaud] expo of the environmental issues.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.00,0:01:19.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I was chosen to build the pavilion out of paper tubes,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.00,0:01:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,recyclable paper.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.00,0:01:24.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My goal of the design is not when it's completed.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.00,0:01:26.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My goal was when building was demolished,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.00,0:01:30.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because each country make a lot of pavilions,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.00,0:01:33.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but after half a year, we create a lot of industrial waste,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.00,0:01:38.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so my building has to be reused or recycled.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.00,0:01:40.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,After, the building was recycled.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.00,0:01:43.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that was the goal of my design.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.00,0:01:46.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I was very lucky to win the competition
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.00,0:01:48.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of building the second Pompidou center in France
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.00,0:01:50.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the city of Metz.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.00,0:01:52.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because I was so poor,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.00,0:01:55.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wanted to rent an office in Paris,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.00,0:01:56.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I couldn't afford,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.00,0:01:59.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I decided to bring my students to Paris
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.00,0:02:01.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to build our office on top of the Pompidou Center in Paris
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.00,0:02:03.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by ourselves.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.00,0:02:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we brought the paper tubes and the wooden joints
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.00,0:02:09.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to complete the 35 meter long office.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.00,0:02:12.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We stayed there for six years without paying any rent.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.00,0:02:16.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter) (Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.00,0:02:19.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But -- Thank you. I had one big problem.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.00,0:02:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because we are part of the exhibition,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.00,0:02:25.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even if my friend want to see me, they have to buy a ticket to see me.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.00,0:02:27.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's what the problem was.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.00,0:02:29.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I completed the Pompidou Center in Metz.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.00,0:02:31.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a very popular museum now,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.00,0:02:34.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I created a big monument for the government.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.00,0:02:36.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But then I was very disappointed
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.00,0:02:39.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at my profession as an architect,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.00,0:02:43.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we are not helping, we are not working for society,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.00,0:02:46.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but we are working for privileged people,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.00,0:02:49.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rich people, government, developers.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.00,0:02:52.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They have money and power.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.00,0:02:55.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Those are invisible.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.00,0:02:57.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So they hire us to visualize their power and money
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.00,0:03:00.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by making monumental architecture.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.00,0:03:02.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That is our profession, even historically the same,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.00,0:03:04.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even now we are doing the same.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.00,0:03:07.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I was very disappointed we are not working for society,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.00,0:03:11.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even though there are many people
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.00,0:03:15.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who lost their houses by natural disaster.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.00,0:03:17.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I must say they are no longer natural disasters.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.00,0:03:20.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, earthquakes never kill people,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.00,0:03:23.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but collapse of the buildings kill people.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.00,0:03:26.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's the responsibility of architects.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.00,0:03:27.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then people need some temporary housing,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.00,0:03:29.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but there are no architect working there
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.00,0:03:32.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we are too busy working for privileged people.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.00,0:03:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I thought, even as an architect,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.00,0:03:40.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can involve in the quick construction of the temporary housing.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.00,0:03:42.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We can make it better.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.00,0:03:46.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that is why I started working in the disaster area.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.00,0:03:50.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1994, there was a big disaster in Rwanda, Africa.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.00,0:03:53.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Two tribes, Hutu and Tutsi, fight each other.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.00,0:03:55.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Over two million people became refugees.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.00,0:03:59.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I was so surprised to see the shelter, refugee camp
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.00,0:04:01.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,organized by the U.N.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.00,0:04:04.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They're so poor, and they are freezing
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.00,0:04:07.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with blanket during the rainy season,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.00,0:04:09.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the shelter built by the U.N.,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.00,0:04:12.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they are just providing plastic sheet,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.00,0:04:16.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the refugee has to cut the trees, and just like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.00,0:04:18.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But over two million people cut trees,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.00,0:04:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just become big, heavy deforestation,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.00,0:04:23.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and environmental problem.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.00,0:04:26.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That is why they started provided [inaud].
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.00,0:04:28.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Very expensive, they throw them out for money,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.00,0:04:30.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then cutting trees again.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.00,0:04:33.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I proposed my idea to improve the situation
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.00,0:04:36.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,using these recycled paper tubes
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.00,0:04:39.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because this is so cheap and also so strong,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.00,0:04:42.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but my budget is only 50 U.S. dollars per unit.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.00,0:04:44.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We built 50 units to do as a monitoring test
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.00,0:04:50.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for the durability and moisture and termites, so on.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.00,0:04:54.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, year afterward, 1995, in Kobe, Japan,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.00,0:04:57.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we had a big earthquake.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.00,0:04:59.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Nearly 7,000 people are killed,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.00,0:05:02.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the city like this Narada district,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.00,0:05:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the old city was burned, fire after the earthquake.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.00,0:05:09.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And also I found out there's many Vietnamese refugees
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.00,0:05:12.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,suffering and gathering at Catholic church,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.00,0:05:14.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all the building was totally destroyed.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.00,0:05:17.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I went to there and also I proposed to the priests,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.00,0:05:20.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Why don't we rebuild the church out of paper tubes?"
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.00,0:05:23.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he said, "Oh God, are you crazy?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.00,0:05:25.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,After a fire, what are you proposing?"
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.00,0:05:29.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So he never trusted me, but I didn't give up.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.00,0:05:31.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I started commuting to Kobe,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.00,0:05:33.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I met the society of Vietnamese people.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.00,0:05:36.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They were living like this with very poor plastic sheet
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.00,0:05:38.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the park.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.00,0:05:40.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I proposed to rebuild, with fundraising.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.00,0:05:43.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I made the paper tube shelter for them,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.00,0:05:46.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the unit make easy to be built by student
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.00,0:05:48.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and also easy to demolish.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.00,0:05:51.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I used beer crates as a foundation.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.00,0:05:54.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I asked the Kirin beer company to propose,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.00,0:05:56.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because at that time, the Asahi beer company
Dialogue: 0,0:05:56.00,0:05:58.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,make their plastic beer crates red,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.00,0:06:01.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which doesn't go with the color of the paper tubes.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.00,0:06:03.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The color coordination is very important.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.00,0:06:06.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And also I still remember, we are expecting
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.00,0:06:08.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to have a beer inside the plastic beer crate,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.00,0:06:10.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it came empty.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:10.00,0:06:14.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I remember it was so disappointing.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:14.00,0:06:16.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So during the summer with my students,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.00,0:06:18.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we built over 50 units of the shelters.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:18.00,0:06:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Finally the priest, finally he trusts me to rebuild.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.00,0:06:23.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He said, "As long as you collect money by yourself,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:23.00,0:06:25.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bring your students to build, you can do it."
Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.00,0:06:28.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we spent five weeks to rebuild the church.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:28.00,0:06:31.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was meant to be staying there for three years,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:31.00,0:06:34.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but actually it stayed there 10 years because people loved it.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:34.00,0:06:38.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, in Taiwan, they had a big earthquake,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:38.00,0:06:42.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we proposed to donate this church,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:42.00,0:06:44.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we dismantled them,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:44.00,0:06:46.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we sent over to build by volunteer people.
