Early data suggests this is the largest earthquake to hit the island nation and a tsunami of waves as high as 33ft struck the coast near Sendai. In partnership with Nike Inc., Architecture for Humanity is working with local architects in Osaka and Kyoto to respond to those affected by the Sendai earthquake and tsunami. The organisation has identified a local community group to rebuild and help to restore normalcy to the lives of those displaced. http://architectureforhumanity.org/
