Danaus - A Polymorphic Installation
My friends from Tulane School of Architecture (New Orleans) are doing an installation on polymorphic forms. Check out the link above. They are looking for some financial support to make this installation a reality. I think INDA should use this website or the like to raise fundings for our projects, like design build and installations instead of ripping off money from students and parents.

An Indian Buffalo Costs $350, a Child Cost $ 12
These are the temporary shelters that children from refugee camps along the border in Mae Sot are currently staying. Most are Burmese children at the risk of child trafficking, exploitation, and orphans. At the camps they were not allowed freedom and could not go to school. Save the Children and other organizations "rescue" them out so they can get education and have better living conditions. They will move from this temporary shelter to a new permanent shelter which is larger.
This is a new permanent shelter that Life Impact Organization has started building for the children. They will move here in May when it's done. The new shelter provides a living environment that is more like "family" (spread out in their own houses with guardians) as opposed to the current environment which is more like an "institution" (living all together in one big room). It also allows more room for children to play. Habitat for Humanity will be helping to construct the new houses.
Ok, so as architects, what do you guys think? :)
