Day 24&#8217;s task was to write a link post. This blog challenge has really inspired me to go looking for community based design online. Unfortunately a lot of the great organizations that are doing the work on the ground are not blogging &#8211; or at least blogs are not linked from their main sites or easily located through search engines. It would be great if I could find more because this type of work is difficult and blogging is a great way to share ideas and learn form each other. In spite of that, I want to highlight a few blogs that I did find that show some great example of work that is getting community members involved in design for their communities or bringing great design to underserved neighborhoods.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nCharlottesville Community Design Center&#8217;s Design Marathon<\/strong><br \/>\nI have admired the CCDC for a long time. This blog highlights their <a \/>Design Marathon.<\/a> Local designers commit to spending an intense 12 hours working on a project for a nonprofit. Ten nonprofits are chosen. What a great way to bring a charette style event to benefit local organizations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Art Aids Art<\/strong><br \/>\nThough architecture tend to be my first thought in community design, this <a \/>organization<\/a> is using design to alleviate poverty and build community in south Africa. The blog highlight their work and community news.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nPower of Pro Bono<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is a great companion <a \/>blog<\/a> to a book that will be coming out in the fall. It focuses on how designers are spending a little of their billable time doing probono projects to benefit communities and organizations that serve them. The blog is a great preview of the soon to be released book.<\/p>\n<p>What example of community based and benefiting design are you following online?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I want to highlight a few blogs that I did find that show some great example of work that is getting community members involved in design for their communities or bringing great design to underserved neighborhoods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[13],"class_list":["post-172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-community-design-2","tag-31bnb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-matic.com\/archive\/katherinerw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-matic.com\/archive\/katherinerw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-matic.com\/archive\/katherinerw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-matic.com\/archive\/katherinerw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-matic.com\/archive\/katherinerw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/the-matic.com\/archive\/katherinerw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-matic.com\/archive\/katherinerw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-matic.com\/archive\/katherinerw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-matic.com\/archive\/katherinerw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
