Brad Pitt, New Orleans, Housing

I gotta hand it to Pitt. His Make-It-Right thing in NOLA, an attempt to bring architects and builders together to make appropriate, affordable housing for those flooded out in Katrina, is looking better all the time. Turns out he owns a house in the French Quarter so his interest is not coincidental.

This month's Architectural Digest has a good article with a couple of the completed houses featured.

Unfortunately, I could get no more of the article than the pics in the link above, which isn't much. AD must not be interested in giving away any of its copy for free on the web.

The article is worth checking out -- a few of the preliminary designs were a bit out there but the one they primarily feature in the article looks promising.
