Camper in Soho by Shigeru Ban

Renowned architect <a href="http://www.shigerubanarchitects.com/">Shigeru Ban</a> has completed the Camper store in Soho - his first retail project in the United States. Located on the corner of Wooster and Prince, the <a href="http://www.camper.com/en">Spanish shoemaker's iconic store</a> is now distinguished by Ban's signature industrial paper tubes, a series of which are aligned to create a pitched roof amid a host of taller, flat-roofed industrial buildings. NYC's <a href="http://www.dma-ny.com/">Dean Maltz Architects</a> also helped bring this fresh new store to life in time for last week's grand opening.
