HOME-FOR-ALL is a base for those who lost their homes or jobs in the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11th 2011.
They are spaces where people can get together and build a new community life. In the weeks following the earthquake a group of architects, lead by Toyo Ito, Kazuyo Sejima, and Riken Yamamoto established a volunteer organization working with younger architects to help make a difference and build HOME-FOR-ALL community houses in the disaster area.
