Duplex house for / Atelier Hitoshi Abe

We have told you in the past about Brad Pitt´s Make It Right Foundation. They have been working with a group of international architects to redevelop the Lower 9th Ward in , after hurricane Katrina. The name of the foundation addresses the desire of Pitt, architecture enthusiast, to design these houses the best way and not just as a temporary solution, in a process that also included working not only with these renowned firms, but also very close with the community, with a focus on sustainable development.

At Make it Right, they submitted their idea to the Pepsi Refresh Project. The most voted idea will receive $250,000. If Make It Right would receive this grant, the money will go towards continuing to help build affordable, sustainable, high-designed and storm resistant homes for families in the Lower Ninth Ward. So click here to vote for their idea and help them carry out this great project!

This is a great organization doing great things, but…

charity-by-voting does nothing so much as get lots of organizations excited about trying to muster up the most votes (when of course only one will win) and generate far more publicity for Pepsi than a traditional grant program. I hope it’s not the future of organizational giving, where basically every charity in the country has to dance for Pepsi, and then only the one with the most name recognition wins anyway.
