Description

Design Like You Give a Damn [2] is the indispensable handbook for anyone committed to building a more sustainable future. Following the success of their first book, Architecture for Humanity brings readers the next edition, with more than 100 projects from around the world. Packed with practical and ingenious design solutions, this book addresses the need for basic shelter, housing, education, health care, clean water, and renewable energy. One-on-one interviews and provocative case studies demonstrate how innovative design is reimagining community and uplifting lives. From building-material innovations such as smog-eating concrete to innovative public policy that is repainting Brazils urban slums, Design Like You Give a Damn [2] serves as a how-to guide for anyone seeking to build change from the ground up.Praise for Design Like You Give a Damn [2]:The resourcefulness of the projects in the book is inspiring, its information practical (see Stohrs chapter on financing sustainable community development) and its numerous factoids sobering.

Introduction
Lessons learned...
Cameron Sinclair
The land we bought was literally the site from hell. Architecture for Humanity s design fellow managed to design classrooms that we will be able to replicate on any site. I really think it could be the best built school in rural Uganda.
Carol Auld, Kutamba AIDS Orphans School, Bikongozo, Uganda
Architecture for Humanity began with a very simple idea: to provide professional design services to communities in need. Mass global urbanization, coupled with a lack of schools, medical clinics, low-cost housing and blighted public space present a tremendous opportunity for building professionals to not only give back, but to become active partners in the development process.
Rather than assume we were experts, Co-founder Kate Stohr and I deliberately set small goals and took each project in steps, learning from one to the next. It took us nearly six years to complete a dozen structures. Then, in early 2005, we began to grow faster. As of 2011, when this book was written, more than 2 million people live, learn, heal or work in the 2250 buildings built by our design and construction professionals. Nowadays we are involved in design, development, construction management, construction financing, and implementation of small-scale urban planning projects.
As the organization developed, we learned a lot about what it takes to implement this work and adapted our model as we ve grown. In 2012, we plan to build in over 25 countries, tackling issues related to poverty alleviation, climate change, conflict resolution and long-term disaster reconstruction efforts in Haiti and Japan. We have had great successes and some failures, but most importantly we learned what it takes to get the job done. What follows is a brief account of the past decade: how things changed and the challenges we faced. While we can t cover every project, we want to thank our army of dedicated building professionals for coming on this journey with us.

Lesson 1: Unless You Build It, It Doesn t Matter.
Sounds harsh, but it s true. In the eyes of a community, be it recovering from disaster, living in systemic
