In  1999,  Architecture  for  Humanity  was  founded  [by  Kate  Stohr  and  Cameron  Sinclair]  to  advocated  what  WE  think  architecture  should  do  –  deliver  safe,  sustainable  and  inspiraBonal  design  soluBons  EVERYWHERE  in  the  world,  including  communiBes  that  do  not  have  access  or  can’t  afford  design.

Whereas  most  architecture  firms  are  hired  by  clients  to  build  what’s  requested,  we  recruit  these  architects  as  volunteers  to  work  with  communiBes  –  find  out  and  respond  to  their  needs  to  become  more  educated,  healthy  or  resilient  against  disasters.

We  call  these  volunteer  architects  “Design  Fellows.”  They  live  and  work  directly  with  villages  and  neighborhoods  around  the  world  on  6-­‐12  month  “Tours  of  Duty,”  developing  design  soluBons  and  overseeing  construcBon  of  community  centers,  schools,  clinics  and  more.  By  2012  we’ve  worked  in  44  countries,  from  HaiB  to  Sri  Lanka  to  the  United  States,  and  have  4  offices  and  64  Chapter  affiliates  in  22  countries.  But  our  work  always  comes  back  to  intense,  community-­‐focused  collaboraBon.  We  believe  local  wisdom  guides  the  best  design–and  that  designs  don’t  count  if  they’re  not  built.  We  also  believe  in  hiring  local  talent  and  builders,  sharing  wisdom,  and  leaving  behind  not  just  a  strong  project,  but  the  skills  and  abiliBes  to  build  more  of  them.  We’re  making  beber  construcBon  go  viral.
