One year has passed since the devastated earthquake and tsunami of March 11 last year. We deeply appreciate the words of encouragement from many ex-participants of IISEE training and others all over the world. Missing persons search and processing of rubble also continues in the stricken area.
However, reconstruction budget and the recovery program were prepared at last, and a hope becomes visible to the disaster victims who live in temporary housing.
BRI officially summarized and announced the investigation activities during this one year (in Japanese) at the following sites. In addition, all proceedings of the international conference held by the Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ), and others on March 3-4, 2012 are also released at the following site.
