Architecture for Humanity is a nonprofit 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. Motivated by the belief that where resources and expertise are scarce, innovative, sustainable and collaborative design can make a difference, Architecture for Humanity responded quickly following last year’s devastating tsunami. More than $200,000 has been raised to help in Kirinda, Sri Lanka. Additionally, monies will go toward a school building in partnership with Relief International in Pottuvil, Sri Lanka and possible projects in Tamil Nadu, India and Banda Aceh, Indonesia. This appeal, coupled with pro-bono design services and material donations, will allow for the building of more than just basic shelter, allowing the construction of schools, infrastructure and medical clinics. With a more holistic and sustainable approach of reconstruction, the funds will help to build beyond simple dwellings to live but create real communities for life to grow, rebuild and renew. We salute Architecture for Humanity and its visionary leader, Cameron Sinclair, for his commitment to humanitarian efforts through the vehicle of design.
