Shigeru Ban Builds a Better World

RSVP Sat, Sep 27, 2025 at 10:30 AM

Can you build a building out of paper? Join us to discover how Japanese architect Shigeru Ban uses everyday materials like paper and cardboard to create beautiful  structures around the world. After a read aloud of Shigeru Ban Builds a Better World by Isadoro Saturno and Stefano Di Cristofaro, kids will explore how to design sustainable structures of paper and wood for temporary and permanent buildings. This hands-on workshop is open to all ages!

This is an in-person children’s program that meets at the Skyscraper Museum, 39 Battery Pl.

You must reserve a place for your child/family by clicking the “RSVP” button above. This will forward you to Ticketstripe for registration. After registering, you will receive emails to confirm your attendance through a Google Form (you only need to fill this out once). If you do not confirm attendance by the Friday morning before the program, your places will be canceled. Every child should be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
