notes: Architecture for Humanity is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded in 1999 to promote architectural and design solutions to global, social and humanitarian crises. Through competitions, workshops, educational forums, partnerships with aid organizations and other activities, Architecture for Humanity creates opportunities for architects and designers from around the world to help communities in need. We believe that where resources and expertise are scarce, innovative, sustainable and collaborative design can make a difference. The organization is currently providing design services and funding for reconstruction in India and Sri Lanka following the devastating tsunami that struck South-East Asia in December 2004 as well as on the Gulf Coast of the United States after Hurricane Katrina. In addition to implementing design initiatives and competitions, Architecture for Humanity supports humanitarian-directed design through advocacy. To that end, we have consulted with government bodies and relief organizations on a number of projects, including mine clearance programs and playground building in the Balkans; earthquake resistant construction techniques in Turkey and Iran; school building in Calcutta; refugee housing on the borders of Afghanistan and responding to Hurricane Ivan, Emily and Katrina. We have also provided referrals and advice to a number of organizations, including Oprah's Angel Network, African Regional Youth Initiative, Kansas City Economic Development Corporation, Kids With Cameras, Habitat for Humanity, Common Ground, UN Habitat, and others. Finally, through exhibitions, media attention, conferences and forums, we foster public appreciation for the many ways that architecture and design can improve lives. -------------------------------------------------------- Architecture for Humanity is sponsoring the design and construction of a number of demonstration homes in East Biloxi. This fully-funded pilot program aims to assist families committed to rebuilding on their property by pairing them with architects, engineers and design professionals and others who can help them answer such basic questions as: Is it safe to rebuild on my lot? How will the new flood map elevations and building codes affect me? And, if I rebuild, what can I afford to build? Families will be paired with a team of professional designers who will work with them one-on-one to design a new home for their property that will not only be affordable but will also be sustainable and meet the area's new building requirements. The pilot program is unique in that it offers families the opportunity to work one on one with architects and design professionals giving them access to expertise and design talent. Architecture for Humanity launched the program with a House Fair, where families were able to meet and choose the design firm of their choice. -> Architecture for Humanity is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded in 1999 to promote architectural and design solutions to global, social and humanitarian crises.
