This research paper analyses the role of sustainability in Shigeru Ban's architecture. In the architect's work, the factors that shape and compose Japanese architecture, from the traditional to modern time architecture, are examined. Initially, reference is made to Gottfried Semper and his theory, about the four arts, in order to analyze the primary elements that are compose architecture as it is. Also, the characteristics of traditional Japanese architecture are analyzed, with the aim of seeking sustainability within it. By analyzing architectural examples of Shigeru Ban's work, both in his private and public works, as well as in emergency shelters, contemporary Japanese architecture is analyzed, and the influences it has received from tradition. Thus, the occasion is given to understand the relationship of modern Japanese architecture with sustainability, as well as its connection with traditional architecture, through the recognition of sustainable elements in it.
