A 2014 Pritzker Prize laureate, Shigeru Ban pioneered the structural use of recycled cardboard tubes, beginning in the mid-1980s with exhibition designs and evolving it into disaster-relief architecture deployed across five continents. His Paper Log Houses, first realized for Vietnamese refugees after the 1995 Kobe earthquake, exemplify architecture’s capacity for urgent social response.

Dear Mazie

An exhibition inspired by the life and work of Amaza Lee Meredith (1895–1984), the first known Black queer woman to practice as an architect in the United States. Eleven contemporary artists, architects, and designers were commissioned to create responses to Meredith’s multifaceted legacy, plotting her life and work within themes of placemaking, gender, sexuality, and Black love, while also exploring her impact in public education, the arts, and architecture.
