The recently formed Make It Right Foundation is pushing it's unique architectural and artistic concepts as a means to build 150 new homes for resident of New Orleans Lower 9th Ward, devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

The concept was formed while Pitt was on location for a film, and is currently a series of decorated building components—roofs, walls, foundations, etc.—draped in pink material to create a unique visual representation of the new neighborhood Pitt and the foundation hope to build. Each individual home is environmentally efficient, utilizing solar and wind energy to reduce utility costs by nearly 65 percent.

Pitt has pledged $5 million of his own money, with estimated cost of each home running about $150,000. There is also options for donors to purchase green products for NOLA residents, ranging from solar paneling to low-flush toilets. In a recent interview with NBC's Today, Pitt expressed his desire to eventually create these homes to be completely self-sustaining, using and possibly generating completely renewable energy from the Earth's natural resources—Sun, wind and water.
