TEMPORARY HOUSING IN TONO

Outline
Temporary housing constructed by Tono City to accommodate evacuees from the coastal areas. In cooperation with the University of Tokyo's Institute of Gerontology and Iwate Prefectural University, a community care type temporary housing project was planned. Unlike conventional standardized temporary housing areas, this project introduced various types of places, such as a zone with a care center for the elderly and a zone with a face-to-face layout and wood decks that facilitates community. The care zone, where the units are arranged face-to-face, has a roof and a deck. The structure is made of locally produced wood and is prepared for the transition to the main building.
