Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.36,0:00:02.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hi. I am an architect.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:02.01,0:00:04.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I am the only architect in the world
Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.46,0:00:07.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,making buildings out of paper like this cardboard tube,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.77,0:00:10.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this exhibition is the first one I did
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.34,0:00:11.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,using paper tubes.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.85,0:00:16.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1986, much, much longer before people started talking
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.27,0:00:20.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about ecological issues and environmental issues,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.47,0:00:23.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I just started testing the paper tube
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.76,0:00:26.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in order to use this as a building structure.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.50,0:00:31.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's very complicated to test the new material for the building,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.65,0:00:34.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but this is much stronger than I expected,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.15,0:00:36.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and also it's very easy to waterproof,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.36,0:00:38.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and also, because it's industrial material,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.26,0:00:40.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's also possible to fireproof.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.96,0:00:44.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I built the temporary structure, 1990.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.79,0:00:47.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is the first temporary building made out of paper.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.80,0:00:51.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are 330 tubes, diameter 55 [centimeters],
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.87,0:00:53.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there are only 12 tubes with a diameter
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.51,0:00:56.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of 120 centimeters, or four feet, wide.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.28,0:00:58.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As you see it in the photo, inside is the toilet.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.90,0:01:01.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In case you're finished with toilet paper,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.55,0:01:03.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can tear off the inside of the wall. (Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.87,0:01:06.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's very useful.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.26,0:01:10.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Year 2000, there was a big expo in Germany.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.30,0:01:12.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was asked to design the building,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.92,0:01:15.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because the theme of the expo was environmental issues.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.72,0:01:20.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I was chosen to build the pavilion out of paper tubes,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.20,0:01:21.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,recyclable paper.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.93,0:01:24.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My goal of the design is not when it's completed.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.90,0:01:26.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My goal was when the building was demolished,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.99,0:01:30.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because each country makes a lot of pavilions
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.96,0:01:34.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but after half a year, we create a lot of industrial waste,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.06,0:01:38.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so my building has to be reused or recycled.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.74,0:01:40.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,After, the building was recycled.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.85,0:01:43.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that was the goal of my design.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.49,0:01:46.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I was very lucky to win the competition
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.58,0:01:49.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to build the second Pompidou Center in France
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.24,0:01:50.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the city of Metz.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.71,0:01:52.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because I was so poor,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.21,0:01:54.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wanted to rent an office in Paris,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.38,0:01:55.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I couldn't afford it,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.89,0:01:57.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I decided to bring my students to Paris
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.93,0:02:01.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to build our office on top of the Pompidou Center in Paris
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.45,0:02:02.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by ourselves.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.68,0:02:06.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we brought the paper tubes and the wooden joints
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.01,0:02:10.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to complete the 35-meter-long office.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.10,0:02:13.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We stayed there for six years without paying any rent.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.13,0:02:17.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter) (Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.00,0:02:19.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you. I had one big problem.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.39,0:02:21.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because we were part of the exhibition,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.74,0:02:25.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even if my friend wanted to see me, they had to buy a ticket to see me.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.05,0:02:27.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That was the problem.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.25,0:02:30.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I completed the Pompidou Center in Metz.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.02,0:02:31.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a very popular museum now,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.97,0:02:35.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I created a big monument for the government.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.14,0:02:37.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But then I was very disappointed
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.04,0:02:39.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at my profession as an architect,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.64,0:02:43.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we are not helping, we are not working for society,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.66,0:02:46.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but we are working for privileged people,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.91,0:02:50.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rich people, government, developers.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.10,0:02:52.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They have money and power.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.62,0:02:54.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Those are invisible.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.42,0:02:58.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So they hire us to visualize their power and money
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.24,0:03:00.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by making monumental architecture.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.48,0:03:02.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That is our profession, even historically it's the same,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.64,0:03:04.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even now we are doing the same.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.99,0:03:08.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I was very disappointed that we are not working for society,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.32,0:03:12.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even though there are so many people
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.32,0:03:15.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who lost their houses by natural disasters.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.21,0:03:18.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I must say they are no longer natural disasters.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.26,0:03:21.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, earthquakes never kill people,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.24,0:03:23.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but collapse of the buildings kill people.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.41,0:03:25.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's the responsibility of architects.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.45,0:03:27.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then people need some temporary housing,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.19,0:03:28.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but there are no architects working there
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.85,0:03:32.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we are too busy working for privileged people.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.51,0:03:36.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I thought, even as architects,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.39,0:03:41.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can be involved in the reconstruction of temporary housing.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.15,0:03:42.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We can make it better.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.94,0:03:46.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that is why I started working in disaster areas.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.97,0:03:50.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1994, there was a big disaster in Rwanda, Africa.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.70,0:03:53.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Two tribes, Hutu and Tutsi, fought each other.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.43,0:03:55.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Over two million people became refugees.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.93,0:03:59.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I was so surprised to see the shelter, refugee camp
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.68,0:04:01.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,organized by the U.N.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.91,0:04:05.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They're so poor, and they are freezing
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.21,0:04:07.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with blankets during the rainy season,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.33,0:04:10.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In the shelters built by the U.N.,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.08,0:04:12.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they were just providing a plastic sheet,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.39,0:04:16.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the refugees had to cut the trees, and just like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.54,0:04:18.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But over two million people cut trees.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.31,0:04:21.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It just became big, heavy deforestation
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.10,0:04:22.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and an environmental problem.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.83,0:04:26.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That is why they started providing aluminum pipes, aluminum barracks.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.06,0:04:28.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Very expensive, they throw them out for money,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.35,0:04:30.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then cutting trees again.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.27,0:04:34.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I proposed my idea to improve the situation
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.29,0:04:36.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,using these recycled paper tubes
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.45,0:04:39.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because this is so cheap and also so strong,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.39,0:04:42.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but my budget is only 50 U.S. dollars per unit.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.13,0:04:45.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We built 50 units to do that as a monitoring test
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.10,0:04:50.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for the durability and moisture and termites, so on.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.80,0:04:55.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, year afterward, 1995, in Kobe, Japan,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.38,0:04:57.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we had a big earthquake.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.17,0:04:59.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Nearly 7,000 people were killed,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.69,0:05:02.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the city like this Nagata district,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.68,0:05:05.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all the city was burned in a fire after the earthquake.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.100,0:05:09.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And also I found out there's many Vietnamese refugees
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.94,0:05:12.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,suffering and gathering at a Catholic church --
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.53,0:05:14.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all the building was totally destroyed.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.45,0:05:17.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I went there and also I proposed to the priests,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.95,0:05:20.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Why don't we rebuild the church out of paper tubes?"
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.57,0:05:23.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he said, "Oh God, are you crazy?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.71,0:05:25.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,After a fire, what are you proposing?"
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.82,0:05:29.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So he never trusted me, but I didn't give up.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.45,0:05:31.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I started commuting to Kobe,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.33,0:05:33.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I met the society of Vietnamese people.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.96,0:05:36.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They were living like this with very poor plastic sheets
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.62,0:05:37.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the park.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.90,0:05:41.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I proposed to rebuild. I raised -- did fundraising.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.15,0:05:43.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I made a paper tube shelter for them,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.70,0:05:46.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in order to make it easy to be built by students
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.66,0:05:48.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and also easy to demolish,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.24,0:05:51.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I used beer crates as a foundation.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.45,0:05:54.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I asked the Kirin beer company to propose,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.04,0:05:56.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because at that time, the Asahi beer company
Dialogue: 0,0:05:56.76,0:05:58.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,made their plastic beer crates red,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.78,0:06:01.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which doesn't go with the color of the paper tubes.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.19,0:06:03.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The color coordination is very important.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.51,0:06:06.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And also I still remember, we were expecting
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.70,0:06:09.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to have a beer inside the plastic beer crate,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:09.06,0:06:10.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it came empty. (Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:06:10.95,0:06:14.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I remember it was so disappointing.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:14.34,0:06:16.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So during the summer with my students,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.58,0:06:18.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we built over 50 units of the shelters.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:18.76,0:06:21.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Finally the priest, finally he trusted me to rebuild.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.54,0:06:23.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He said, "As long as you collect money by yourself,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:23.83,0:06:26.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bring your students to build, you can do it."
Dialogue: 0,0:06:26.08,0:06:28.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we spent five weeks rebuilding the church.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:28.56,0:06:32.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was meant to stay there for three years,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:32.06,0:06:35.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but actually it stayed there 10 years because people loved it.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:35.36,0:06:39.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, in Taiwan, they had a big earthquake,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:39.17,0:06:43.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we proposed to donate this church,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:43.12,0:06:44.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we dismantled them,
