The design of today's magnificent buildings is often one of high effectiveness, much beauty and great creativity.
The great architects of the world, often achieve what many of us 'normal' people dreamt of as kids when we were drawing our future houses.
As such, design brings beauty to the world and touches many of our hearts.
Furthermore, design is often the start of building projects with high public attention and with great financial commitments.
However, it also happens that the beauty of the design goes beyond the boundaries of what is truly necessary.
Saved by Design challenges architects and corportations alike, to stop just short of those boundaries, thus still designing unique buildings, but also allowing the saved resources to be used in housing projects in less fortunate parts of the world.
Instead of your hanging atrium, stylish fountain in the loby or twisted tower, you will have a public declaration of what you did not do in your building and of the housing project you supported instead. Your customers will be impressed with the trade offs you made and elsewhere in the world people will enjoy their building.
======================================
Globally, 100’s of millions are spent every year on constructing new, and maintaining existing corporate and governmental buildings.
Did you know that the money that could be saved by marginal simplifications to some of those architectural masterpieces could fund the building of hundreds of orphanages, foster homes, care homes, schools and clinics around the world?
Now that you know, please consider this:
How can you change your design so that it still meets all requirements, yet allows to utilize the saved resources to create buildings for the needy as well?
Money you save by your simplified design can save hope and even lives for many less priviledged ones.
Saving 1% on a 30 million dollar building project can ensure housing for up to 2000 orphans!
