"The Home for All for Rikuzentakata is composed of 19 cedar logs – blighted by salt water from the tsunami – for columns with floors spanning between." Ja + U, 2013
"Toyo Ito is brilliant and generous and sends a clear message: ‘“Home-For-All” may consist of small buildings, but it posits the vital question of what form architecture should take in the modern era and beyond.’ The task is to respond to the disaster of the tsunami at Rikuzentakata, still resonating in everyone’s mind." P. Cook, 2012
