Architects for Beirut launched on October 13 (it goes until November 17), and as of today nearly 30 items have sold, raising more than $45,000. Prices range from under $100 for a newspaper publication created by the young practice AD—WO to $15,000 for a one-of-a-kind drawing that James Wines created for Michael Sorkin’s 2002 book The Next Jerusalem: Sharing the Divided City. In between are many famous names (Iwan Baan, Flores & Prats, Norman Foster, Bernard Khoury, and Bernard Tschumi, to name just a few) and numerous young architects, all of whose donations will surely help Beirut Urban Lab greatly. A smattering of the offerings are presented here, but be sure to visit Design Miami's website to look at the rest of this unique collection for a good cause.
