Brad Pitt gets to combine two of his favorite hobbies—architecture, and doing stuff that will impress Angelina Jolie—in a competition he's spearheading that challenges designers to come up with innovative and feasible plans to rebuild New Orleans:

Brad Pitt called for people to submit proposals for an environmentally friendly design competition he is sponsoring to rebuild parts of New Orleans devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

"This competition asks the question, can this catastrophe be turned into opportunity? Can we create for these neighborhoods and its families something even better than they had before? We encourage anyone with an idea to get involved," the actor said Thursday in a statement.

Pitt offered up his own green tarp construction, currently erected around Team Jolie's Namibian compound, as a great starting point: Not only is it lightweight, easy to assemble, and highly effective in cordoning of private living areas, if a nosy paparazzo should try to burrow his way past it, its eco-friendly nature allows it to be quickly recycled into an excellent corpse wrapping after an overzealous security guard goes one tazer-zap too far.
