Studio Wikitecture Wins Founder's Award in Open Architecture Competition

I first heard Jon Brouchoud talk about his approach to collaborative architecture in Second Life at Metaverse U. At the time, the group, Studio Wikitecture, was working on a telemedicine center in Nepal for the AMD Open Architecture Challenge. The group developed a 3D Wiki-Tree for tracking individual designs, working together to refine them, and then add them to the overall design. The team's contribution took third place in its region, but it was recognized with the Architecture for Humanity Overall Founder's Award "for embracing a truly collaborative way of working using online crowd sourcing and Second Life as a way to create a highly participatory design approach." Congratulations, all, for the recognition of a very neat project.
