Home for All for Rikuzentakata is a gathering place for those who lost their homes in the tsunami-devastated city in Iwate Prefecture. The project was led by architect Toyo Ito, who collaborated with younger Japanese architects, Kumiko Inui, Sou Fujimoto, and Akihisa Hirata. The four internationally-renowned architects spent about ten months designing this small communal space. They asked themselves the ultimate question: Architecture. Possible here? which was also the theme of the Golden-Lion-awarded Japan Pavilion at the 13th Venice Biennale International Architecture Exhibition.
