HERO: Humanitarian Design
January 11th, 2008
If I had to guess your 2008 resolutions, I’d bet they include, among others: Do Something Good for the World.Here are a few design-related inspirations, while you’re figuring out just how, specifically, you want to do that. If you’re reading this blog, then you understand what design can do–physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Below: a few organizations that have combined architecture and social policy/service.
- Rural Studio : Famous school out of Auburn University, founded by “Sambo” Mockbee.
- The Design Center (University of Detroit, Mercy): “We focus on the social, cultural, and political aspects of urban community design and architecture.”
- Dirt Studio grew out of “a concern for marginalized communities and an obsession with urban regeneration.”
