Age?

"Shigeru Ban was the winner in 2005 at age 48 of the 40th annual Thomas Jefferson Medal in Architecture from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville."

Why is Shigeru's age at this time of interest? Moberg (talk) 20:36, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Misrepresentation?

It seems to be written that he doesn't have architect's licenses in the following documents, it was written by Oita Prefecture Audit Committee. As far as I have examined, he is not a registered architect in U.S. or Japan. Additionally the real designer of the buildings (we believe that is his works) seems to be written as Nobutaka Hiraga (properly licensed architect). Can someone please check?

Kenzō Tange, Fumihiko Maki, Tadao Ando, Kazuyo Sejima, Ryue Nishizawa, Toyo Ito, and Nobutaka Hiraga are written in the roll of registered Japanese architects, but Shigeru Ban is NOT. What's this all about? -- Qaraqorum (talk) 12:08, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

According to the document above, Shigeru Ban is a nonlicensed architect. Furthermore, he admitted that he did not design any building in the world. It's definitely true because the document is public notice of local government. I am wondering how to deal with this matter. --Sesetset (talk) 16:57, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Not being registered/licensed doesn't mean someone cannot be an architect in the common sense of the word, that is design buildings. None of the famous architects starting from Andrea Palladio until the early 20th century did need such formal accreditation. Even after that, architects like Frank Lloyd Wright refused to get formal accreditation. So is possible for Ban to be the architect/designer and have another registered architect to do the bureaucratic paperwork for him. This is anyway always the case when architects are designing buildings abroad, and a local registered architect has to be employed to do the formal building approval process. --ELEKHH^T 23:51, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
