A lot of work sure was put into building this, but to make it out of “paper tubes” seems like a bad choice to me. It doesn’t mention if they are treated or waterproofed in any way. A good rain would start to deteriorate the paper. Snails & slugs eat wet cardboard.
I totally agree… paper tubes = kind of weird. But looks cool.
They are 1.5″ thick and incredibly strong. They don’t warp or expand like logs do under pressure, and are most definitely water proof. Shingeru Ban has built bridges, churches, auditoriums, and many other structurally sound buildings that have maintained their integrity for 15 years and counting. The paper tubes are made from 100% recycled OCC, old corrugated container board, lamented with PVA or Sodium Silicate adhesive, and make for excellent building material. They are like high tech logs!
