Building a pavilion out of paper tubes isn't what one would
consider to be a traditional method of structural form, but the
IE Paper Pavilion by Shigeru Ban is created in just such a
manner. 173 paper tubes were utilized to create the multi-
aesthetic structure that is destined for a multitude of
different purposes depending on the need of the Spanish business
school.  Infamous for designing with paper materials, Shigeru
Ban also has a strong commitment to humanitarian efforts that
can help those in impoverished regions of the world. Regarding
the structure, Santiago Iñiguez -- Dean of IE Business School
and President of IE University -- said, "IE’s culture and
Shigeru Ban’s work share a commitment to sustainability, the
humanistic spirit, and the blending of multiple cultures." Thus,
it's truly a site to see such a complex initiative coming to
fruition to uproarious success.
