Worth a glance, according to Forbes magazine:

The whole world wants to know about the rumors of a “Brangelina” wedding in Namibia, not to mention the chances that the first biological child of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie might be born in Africa next month.

But all the publicity-shy actor wants to talk about is his new architecture project - a design competition to encourage eco-friendly rebuilding in areas of New Orleans hardest hit by hurricane Katrina.

….

Pitt was much more forthcoming on his love of architecture and his plans to sponsor a design competition and lead its jury.

“Our goal is to kick off the rebuilding effort. It’s certainly long overdue and I can only go from the reports that we get … that it’s behind, absolutely. People are frustrated,” Pitt said.

“We could possibly build something that was better and took into account the historical traditions of the city and the voices of the people and turn this into some kind of good,” he added.

Pitt, who has not visited New Orleans since Katrina struck on Aug. 29, described his reaction to watching the scenes of the devastation on television.

“Truthfully, I dare say we witnessed, to our shame, the fact that there’s a portion of our society that’s being dismissed and that needs to be rectified and I thought that was a real casualty overall from the event.”

Pitt announced Thursday that he is teaming up on the project with Global Green USA, a national environmental organization that is already providing technical assistance in green standards for 10,000 buildings in New Orleans.
