Building Green

Core Team

The Make it Right core team assembled by Pitt includes experts such as:

  • William McDonough + Partners, a world leader in environmental architecture
  • Cherokee Gives Back Foundation, the nonprofit arm of Cherokee, a firm that specializes in remediation and sustainable redevelopment of environmentally impaired properties
  • Graft, an innovative architecture firm that Pitt has collaborated with on projects around the world

This core team is working in tandem with leaders of a local, neighborhood led coalition of not-for-profits, and has expanded to include renowned local, national and international architecture firms, to ensure that the focus on -- and commitment to -- the Lower 9th Ward is demonstrably diverse and reflective of Brad Pitt's dedication to giving this critical neighborhood access to the best expertise available. In short, they are working to "Make It Right."
