Architecture for Humanity, celebrating 10 years
Core77 reminded me that the charity, Architecture for Humanity is 10 years old. It has built up a network of 40,000 construction and architecture professionals offer their skills and time for construction projects in communities that desperately need it.

The video is well worth watching…
