"There are many complicated things in building a school and this new building is not a building, it is a work of art, and we did that." Vivianne Vieux, Headmistress, cole La Dignit, Cayes Jacmel, Haiti Architecture for Humanity is a nonprofit design services firm founded in 1999. We are building a more sustainable future through the power of professional design. By tapping a network of more than 50,000 professionals willing to lend time and expertise to help those who would not otherwise be able to afford their services, we bring design, construction and development services where they are most critically needed. Each year 100,000 people directly benefit from structures designed by Architecture for Humanity. Our advocacy, training and outreach programs impact an additional 50,000 people annually. We channel the resources of the global funding community to meaningful projects that make a difference locally. From conception to completion, we manage all aspects of the design and construction process. Our clients include community groups, aid organizations, housing developers, government agencies, corporate divisions, and foundations. Design is important to every aspect of our lives. It informs the places in which we live, work, learn, heal and gather. We engage all stakeholders in the design process. We believe our clients are designers in their own right. Thoughtful, inclusive design creates lasting change in communities by: Alleviating poverty and providing access to water, sanitation, power and essential services Bringing safe shelter to communities prone to disaster and displaced populations Rebuilding community and creating neutral spaces for dialogue in post-conflict areas Mitigating the effects of rapid urbanization in unplanned settlements Creating spaces to meet the needs of those with disabilities and other at-risk populations Reducing the footprint of the built environment and addressing climate change Architecture for Humanity is a catalyst for innovation. To foster knowledge sharing and promote best practices, we developed the Open Architecture Network and after five years have merged it with the Worldchanging platform (www.openarchitecturenetwork.org). This groundbreaking online network empowers architects, designers, builders and their clients to share every aspect of their projects and process in an open-source community. Drawings, documents, hi-res images, slideshows and more can be freely downloaded and shared by all. Design is the ultimate renewable resource. Join us in building safer, more sustainable and more innovative structuresstructures that are assets to their communities and an ongoing testament to the ability of people to come together to envision a better future.
