In order to respond to the earthquake which struck Nepal on April 25th, Voluntary Architects’ Network (VAN) and Shigeru Ban Architects will support the victims with shelter, housing and other community facilities.As an emergency response, we will deliver tents that have been collected through donation and will assemble at disaster affected area as a shelter and medical station. Because these tents have only roof of membrane, we will use plastic sheets also donated by contractors as walls.
