Praise for Design Like You Give a Damn [2]:

“No community is immune to the forces of climate change. If we have learned anything from Hurricane Katrina, it is that we must adapt. Good design accelerates the adoption of new ideas-and this book shows us how.”
Brad Pitt, Jolie-Pitt Foundation

“It is not just about putting bricks to mortar. It is about taking the vision of
creating a better world for others and making it tangible”
Auma Obama, Sauti Kuu Foundation
