 1% Launches New Web SitePublic Architecture, a nonprofit organization formed to “put the resources of architecture in the service of the public interest,” recently launched the new name of its pro bono design service program—The 1%--as well as its completely redesigned Web site. [http://www.theonepercent.org] The new Web site enables 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations in need of design assistance to connect with the more than 187 firms that have signed on to pledge a minimum of one percent of their time to pro bono work, and vice versa. In addition to sign-up information and tips for getting involved, the Web site offers cases studies of completed projects. The AIA is an institutional supporter of the 1% program. For more information, visit the new 1% Web site. (Pictured is the work of Project FROG, now an independent company, that grew out of the pro bono design work of San Francisco-based MKThink architecture firm. Project FROG provides an alternative to the temporary trailers used as classrooms.)
