Architecture for Humanity co-founder Cameron Sinclair will speak at the Cranbrook Art Museum on April 12 at 7 p.m. as part of the
Wired Magazine Speaker Series.
Excerpt:
Frustrated that less than two percent of the world benefits from

returning refugees in Kosovo; mobile health clinics to combat HIV/AIDS
in Sub-Saharan Africa; mine clearance programs and playground building
in the Balkans; and disaster recovery assistance in Grenada, India,
Iran and Sri Lanka.
