arch for humanity

I went to a lecture at the MCA tonight, being given by Kate Stohr, co-founder of Architecture for Humanity. The event was co-hosted by Chicago Women in Architecture, and I thought it was a great success. I had read a fair amount about Architecture for Humanity and their Open Architecture Network, but it was really great to hear about the origins of the organization and more behind-the-scenes details of some of the building projects. A great talk and a great mission.
