Japanese architect Shigeru Ban has created a pavilion from paper tubes, wood and milk crates to mark the 75th anniversary of US architect Philip Johnson's Glass House in Connecticut, USA.
Created in collaboration with students from New York university Cooper Union, the 13.5 foot by 13.5 foot (4.1 meters by 4.1 metres) structure was built within the site of Johnson's historic house.
Shigeru Ban created the Paper Log House at the Glass House
Built in 1949, the house in New Canaan, Connecticut, was designed by Johnson as his own home and is considered one of the most significant buildings of the 21st century.
The Paper Log House was created to contrast the original house, which as its name suggests has entirely glass walls set within a charcoal-coloured steel frame. The pavilion was made from paper tubes, wood and milk crates
The structure was constructed with walls made from 156 paper tubes, which sit within a frame made from plywood on a foundation made of 39 milk crates.
All of the building's components were fabricated at Cooper Union in Manhattan before being transported to the site and assembled in 15 hours by 17 students, faculty and Shigeru Ban Architects staff.
The pavilion is the latest structure on the site
The trust that runs the house commissioned Ban to continue the legacy of innovation on the Glass House estate, where Johnson designed a series of galleries, event spaces and follies throughout the second half of the 20th century.
