Acclaimed Japanese architect Shigeru Ban has announced a 3-stage plan to build emergency shelters in Nepal following its series of devastating earthquakes earlier this year.
Together with his humanitarian relief outfit Voluntary Architects’ Network (VAN), Ban will implement a three-phased project to provide housing and infrastructure for thousands of homeless victims.
The international architecture community is pushing for urgent assistance in long-term and safe reconstruction in Nepal, with notable architect Shigeru Ban and furniture giant IKEA among those contributing to relief efforts.
The collection includes exclusive art rugs created in close collaboration with twelve artists, including some of the most prominent and influential names in the contemporary art world.
