    THE WIRED SPEAKER SERIES
    At Cranbrook Academy of Art
    Cameron Sinclair

    Co-founder of Architecture for Humanity
    In conversation with Melanie Cornwell, Editorial Projects Director, WIRED magazine.

    Frustrated that less than two percent of the world benefits from architectural services and that one in seven people live in slum settlements, Cameron Sinclair co-founded Architecture for Humanity, a non profit that seeks architecture solutions to humanitarian crises and brings design services to communities in need. For the last six years his team has initiated and implemented a number of programs including post-Katrina disaster relief in New Orleans, housing ideas for returning refugees in Kosovo; mobile health clinics to combat HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa; mine clearance programs and playground building in the Balkans; and disaster recovery assistance in Grenada, India, Iran and Sri Lanka
