“Last week at the Clinton Global Climate Initiative, the altruistic actor received an award from the USGBC for his commendable efforts to rebuild New Orleans with sustainable housing. Pitt’s Make It Right Foundation, a project near and dear to our hearts at Inhabitat, is working to rebuild a section of New Orleans that was badly hit by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.”

This maybe only for publicity but it doesn’t hurt for celebritites to use their power and fame for good! There are 13 homes built so far, and 150 planned.

Portable Bubble House Pop Up in a Snap.

“A compact metal locker holds a 2×2x2 meter cube with a lightweight plastic bubble skin, which is configured upon a drop-down aluminum frame. The walls of the cubic house feature an insulating chamber that can be filled with a variety of materials ranging from water, to air, to grass, to clothing, to whatever the occupant desires. This clever design feature not only provides alternative storage, but works to manage external conditions by providing adjustable eco-friendly insulation as well as offering privacy from the curious eyes which will surly be drawn to the unique structure. Leaps ahead of a traditional tent, the self supporting structure also includes a water hookup, a small kitchen, laundry and lighting.”
