Design Like You Give A Damn: Architectural Responses to Humanitarian Crises
http://designlikeyougiveadamn.architectureforhumanity.org/
A more specific subset of the issues discussed in Worldchanging: A Users Guide for the 21st Century - namely architecture, but more specifically architecture and product design to address refugees, people displaced because of natural and environmental disaster, homelessness, better housing for people in slums, etc. Creative solutions that strive for a light ecological footprint and also strive for being appropriate for the locale and culture. Not every attempt is necessarily successful, but fantastic to see people at least tossing those ideas out there. That open dialogue leads to refinements, improvements, etc. Some examples are little more than rough sketches, some CAD drawings, some are things that have been built. Very inspiring.
