The nonprofit organization Architecture for Humanity was founded in 1999 to promote architectural and design solutions to humanitarian problems. Through competitions, workshops, educational forums, and partnerships with aid organizations, Architecture for Humanity creates opportunities for architects and designers to help communities in need. Volunteer architects and designers work with community groups and relief organizations to build sustainable, well-designed structures. In addition, the organization fosters public appreciation for the many ways that architecture and design can improve lives. Over the past five years, Architecture for Humanity has developed a network of more than 5,000 architects and designers and offered assistance and advice on urgent projects around the world. Here's a review of their projects.
