"On New Year’s Day 2024, a magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck Ishikawa
Prefecture’s Noto Peninsula. The death toll reached 245 and 76,144 housing
units were damaged. Many residents were displaced amid the harsh winter cold,
with approximately 15,000 seeking refuge.
Architect Shigeru Ban responded with a plan for 9 buildings that would house
166 households. They were constructed without the use of nails or any
adhesives, and the first batch of 30 households were delivered in just under 3
months.
Recognized for their quality, speed and sustainability, the project was
recently awarded the Good Design Grand Award — the highest honour of the
Good Design Award 2025, presented by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion."
