Starting a few hours ago, and continuing for the next ten days, Architecture for Humanity's I love Architecture Auction looks to raise $150,000 to help fund AfH's humanitarian projects in over 20 countries.  Included are over 70 sketches, paintings, prints, renderings, lithographs - and a pigskin.

Jeanne Gang and Zoka Zola are among the local architects represented, with items contributed by everyone from Kevin Roche, who just celebrated his 90th birthday . . .
Michael van Valkenburgh . . .
Daniel Libeskind . . .
Steven Holl . . .
Bjarke Ingels. . .
Matteo Cainer's Busan Opera House . . .
Chris Bosse's LAVA Laser Cut Plastic Origami Tiger . . .
plus Frank Gehry, Paolo Soleri, David Adjaye, Moshe Safdie, Michael Graves, Renzo Piano, Richard Meier and many more.  Almost four hours into the auction, on eBay, less than half a dozen items had a opening bid, so this could be your big chance.   Check all all 70 items, and make your bid, here.

A good cause ... but what a load of pathetic sketches. Holl's pretentious watercolor (as always) is pure, unadulterated shite. Libeskind's doodle is as ignorant as the man who produced it. I'd be happy to give the money directly to Architecture for Humanity and throw these 'drawings' in the garbage where they belong.
