Auctions : Fondation Architectes de l’Urgence in Paris

The Fondation Architectes de l’Urgence, founded in 2001, provides assistance to those affected by natural or man-made disasters around the world. On May 21st, it will be holding the fourth edition of its annual auction.

Recent events in Nepal have highlighted the foundation’s work: assisting, relocating, training and supporting people in need and helping them piece their lives back together. Partners of this event include the Laboratoire Picto—which printed the work of photographers like Martin Argyroglo, Philippe Beasse, Maxime Delvaux and Georges Fessy—and the agency VU (as well as its parent company, ABVENT) which donated photographs from Claude Poquet, Paolo Verzone, Pierre-Olivier Deschamps and others.

Benefits from the auction will help fund recent efforts in Nepal and to promoting its work, since rebuilding after disasters like earthquakes takes a very long time.
