A CNN interview with Cameron Sinclair of Architecture for Humanity. He talks about the Open Architecture Network (making building designs available to communities who need sustainable, good quality building designs) and how thousands of designers are helping to create sustainable buildings in needy communities around the globe, making a difference in the lives of the people of those communities. Architecture for Humanity has been helped communities in the Gulf, rebuilding homes for those affected by Hurricane Katrina. The techniques they use to build these green buildings is very innovative, using affordable, accessible materials and passive ventilation/heating/cooling techniques. Designers can donate design time at their website, www.architectureforhumanity.org.
