Open source architecture

The Open Architecture Network is bringing open source to architecture through innovative, sustainable, and most importantly, affordable design to developing and impoverished nations. I first heard about the OAN at the TED Conference 2006, where Cameron Sinclair pitched the idea and then went on to with the TED Prize, which got the project off the ground. Later this year, the OAN will be partnering with AMD and will offer a $250,000 prize to the winning design of an open competition to develop technology centers in the developing world.
