Did work for an animal Shelter where a portion of our fee was pro bono. We are both Architects and Landscape Architects so we didn't charge for the Landscape Architecture Services.
i do pro bono work. i am doing an interior remodel (non-structural) of a non-profit shelter house. it takes more time than I want it to, but it is fun and i get plenty of "thank you's" - so it is very satisfying. i will also get a press release on it.
how does it work if you are not registered? I know you can't remove/add structural walls, but what can you do? I am sure it changes from state to state, right?
sullivanJ - I had been meaning to get back you, sorry it took so long.
i am doing interior design bascially, decorating is the even less elloquent way of saying it: paint, artwork, moving furniture around, new lampshades, curtains etc and it's actually kinda tough to do on the side, lots to think about and accomplish. my firm knows about it and i had to write up a little waiver even to do this. they aren't being jerks about it, it's an insurance thing.
Strawbeary- Thanks, I looking for something like that to do myself, but I have never done anything like it befor except for family, I was worried about people want you to start adding and removing walls. I want to stay away from anything like that. I also looked into Habitat for Humanity but there is a YEAR long wait to get on the volunteer list in NYC.
for a couple of years i served on a task force for access center partnership, a resource organization providing advice, design ideas, and specific solutions for accessibility issues. we were usually consulted with issues relating to retrofitting old storefronts with steps and things like that - how to make aging structures accessible without the modifications being a huge burden on tenant or building owner and without drawing the wrath of local historic review boards.
now i'm on the building and grounds committee for a local historic home/museum. what that means most of the time is that i'm on the hook for pro bono renovation/maintenance advice, drawings, and oversight. but having my name attached to this prestigious property(based on a jefferson design and lincoln slept there) is a good thing for me, too.

pro bono work
this as a cure for architects' depression? How may of you out there do it?

i know, they have more than enough volunteers here too. what they really need is supervisory positions usually to guide the volunteers.
