give a damn.
Innovative projects from around the world that demonstrate the power of design to improve lives. A call to action to anyone committed to building a better world. Cameron Sinclair, the founder of Architecture for Humanity, accepts his TED prize and discusses open-source architecture to house the world. Not only brilliant thinking, but bold actions.
I got this book as a gift a couple of years ago from my wife. It’s a moving account of many, many practical solutions to the most urgent needs in the world today. The idea of “designing like you give a damn” is such an important one. Whatever your expertise, the knowledge, technology and resources exist to make this world better, each and every day. But in order for that to happen we have to make a conscious decision to care, to jump in, feet first and say “I’m in, I want to help.” We have to give a damn, and in my journey to get to that point, this book, this thinking, played a critical role. Enjoy. -jk-
