Local Firm Joins With My Twin to Help New Orleans
This is a neat story. Brad Pitt and other philanthropists have joined with a group of architects, including local firm BNIM Architects, to design houses for the Lower 9th Ward in New Orleans. If you want to give a Christmas gift to someone who really needs it, you might consider visiting the Make it Right website.

I'm always torn -- on the one hand, the government ought to do more. On the other hand, they aren't.
Guess the same could be said about almost any worth 501(c)(3).
What about the Katrina Cottage?

But -- the thing I liked about the plans commissioned by Pitt -- they are on stilts, or have garages / parking areas on first floor, etc.
