I am an active member of Architecture for Humanity; and I suppose like 'a thousand others' who joined one of the now 80 chapters worldwide, I began with a foggy notion that I might have a chance to do some larger good...and certainly that altruistic opportunity does exist; but let's put those lofty goals aside for a minute and consider some of the more 'selfish' reasons to be involved.

Smile, giggle, laugh out loud and then marvel at how this integration of design/think/media/strategy scores max points with a communication capsule that achieves ultimate audience attention as watchers collaborate by replicating and duplicating the message. Here is a one minute crash course in 'viral marketing' or 'how to create a virus that sneezers will spread'.

Humans don't handle crisis very well. We see the writing on the wall... we know its really about us, but we choose to avoid that uncomfortable thought as we struggle to describe how material and physical forms must change.

All this chatter about… Continue
