MAKE IT RIGHT FOUNDATION / PINK PROJECT
The make it Right Foundation was established by Brad Pitt to construct 150 homes in the Lower 9th Ward, with a focus on green, affordable housing incorporating innovative design. Out of these efforts the Pink Project was conceived. Together with Graft, the idea was born to create an installation that would focus immediate global attention onto a pervasive local issue.

PROJECT DETAILS

The Alluvial Sponge Comb
by Anderson Anderson Architecture.


Made of flexible, superabsorbent material, the multifinger sponge captures water to become a temporary flood barrier. This design is meant to harmonize with the natural ebb and flow of water, rather than resist it.

PROJECT DETAILS


WHAT NEXT
organized by the Tulane School of Architecture and Dean Reed Kroloff, presents several initiatives for rebuilding New Orleans. Jazz Center and Heritage Park, a major downtown development designed by Morphosis, are displayed in addition to a range of replacement housing proposals by well-known practitioners.
Also included are the entries from six finalists in the first stage of a competition sponsored by the organization Global Green USA and Brad Pitt, which propose sustainable housing for New Orleans. Material from the book New Orleans: Strategies for a City in Soft Land is presented as well. This book, by Joan Busquets in collaboration with Felipe Correa, was produced by joint studios at Harvard University Graduate School of Design and Tulane University’s School of Architecture.
    Documentary:
SHOWN AS PART OF After the Flood are clips of the Autodesk-sponsored television documentary Design:e² (The Economies of Being Environmentally Conscious), produced by kontentreal. This six-part series, narrated by Brad Pitt, highlights inventive leaders and new technologies that sustainably transform the world around us—from the products we use to the communities in which we live. The series will be released in Europe in fall 2006.
