10 firms join The 1% in July; AIA issues "Pro Bono Guidelines" draft
Thursday, August 14, 2008
Public Architecture extends a welcome to the 10 firms that joined The 1% in July. Hailing from diverse locales across the country, these firms have become part of the network of architects providing quality design services to those who normally do not have access to them.
These firms are joining The 1% at a historic moment for pro bono design. On August 1st, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) issued its first official substantive statement on pro bono work within the field of architecture. Their “Pro Bono Guidelines,” currently in draft form, encourage AIA members to engage in pro bono work as part of their “contributions to the highest aspirations of the architecture profession,” demonstrating that the pro bono ethos that Public Architecture and The 1% have sought to foster is gaining ground. Join the discussion on this issue at Pro Bono Junkie’s Blog hosted by the Taproot Foundation.

The 1% Program of Public Architecture
www.theonepercent.org
“The 1%” is a national program launched by Public Architecture in 2005 that challenges architecture and design firms to pledge 1% of their billable hours to pro bono work. Over 300 firms have signed on to date. If every architecture professional in the U.S. dedicated just 20 hours annually, it would add up to 5,000,000 hours each year—the equivalent of 2,500-person firm working fulltime for the public good. The 1% program was launched by Public Architecture in 2005 with the support of a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), and is presently supported by a range of groups, including the NEA, American Institute of Architects (AIA), Boston Society of Architects (BSA), corporate and private foundations, as well as leading firms such as Elness Swenson Graham Architects (ESG), Hammel, Green & Abrahamson (HGA), Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum (HOK), HKS, McCall Design Group, and Perkins + Will.
