Architecture for Humanity has a new spokesanimal:
On April 6, 2010 non-profit Architecture for Humanity will be starting its eleventh year bringing design, construction and development services to communities in need. In celebration of this milestone, and to raise awareness of the organizations' impact, Architecture for Humanity is partnering with the South Florida Aquarium to co-host a 12 month tour for the organizations' newly adopted mascot, Hugh Manatee.Hugh, a 1200 lb Antillean Manatee, has been resident at the Aquarium for the past six years, following his rescue from a boating accident. This tour will visit ten projects around the world and end at the Architecture for Humanity Headquarters in San Francisco. Hugh will travel with two handlers and a travel tank allowing him to view projects first hand and bring a sense of excitement to countless onlookers.
This is an awesome idea. I kind of wish they were announcing it on a less suspicious day.
