Detail Narrative Process

I already posted the final video below for crit today but I didn't include process yet so here it is! I wanted to do their mission statement in text and like I said, wanted to build on my first project. Their mission statement, fully, is:

"Architecture for Humanity is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1999 to promote architectural and design solutions to global, social and humanitarian crises. Through design/build projects, competitions, workshops, educational forums, partnerships with aid organizations and other activities, Architecture for Humanity creates opportunities for architects and designers from around the world to help communities in need. We believe that where resources and expertise are scarce, innovative, sustainable and collaborative design can make a difference.

We are proud to say we have become a resource for community groups and aid agencies in search of professional design services, local architects—and the most critical element, construction funding. The network that began with a simple competition now includes thousands of architects, designers and others. We remain a pro bono organization of design and construction professionals based on grassroots funding."

Of course, I wanted to shorten it so it ended up being just three sentences, their logo, and then their slogan/motto. So the text I used is:

• We aim to promote architectural and design solutions to global, social, and humanitarian crises.
• We aim to create opportunities for architects and designers to help communities in need.
• We believe that where resources and expertise are scarce, innovative, sustainable and collaborative design can make a difference.
• Architecture for Humanity logo
• Design like you give a damn.

Most of what I had trouble with or learned is down below so I won't repeat it here.
