Architecture for Humanity
Description
"Architecture for Humanity represents the finest of the new breed of architectural leadership, employing architectural skills and directing them for the larger good. Committed, unapologetically architectural in name and mission, Architecture for Humanity stands up for people in need." –Robert Ivy, Architectural Record
Architecture for Humanity is a registered 501(c)(3) not for profit 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. Past initiatives also include three international design competitions: Siyathemba youth sports and HIV/AIDS outreach facility for Somkhele, South Africa (2004-2005), Outreach: Design Ideas for Mobile Health Clinic to Combat HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa (2001-2004); and Transitional Housing for Kosovo's Returning Refugees (1999-2000).
