Pritzker Prize–winner Kazuyo Sejima of SANAA has selected a young architect from China to assist her with a yearlong design project for victims of the 2011 tsunami in Japan. Yang Zhao, 32, will collaborate on a new community center as part of the Home-for-All program, a relief project started by a group of prominent Japanese architects.
Zhao was chosen through the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative, a one-on-one arts mentoring program that added an architecture category this year. A jury selected three finalists who then each had an hour-long interview with Sejima in Tokyo.
