Open Source Architecture
Architects are coming together to create innovative designs aimed at solving the world's tough humanitarian problems.
"Their best resource is the untapped creative energy of designers, who are eager to bring their idealism to the drafting table – turning waste materials like carpet tiles into walls.
Thousands of designs are in an open source library anyone in the developing world can access...Architecture for Humanity has helped galvanize designers – many of whom are frustrated with the monotony of designing for corporate clients."
"When your clients live on less than 50 cents a day...being green is more than just a trendy option."
