Open Architecture Network

Open Architecture Network | Helping communities sustainably improve living conditions through innovative design and construction.

A great big idea: architecture that actually considers people's real needs. This site describes hundreds of projects large and small going on all over the world. This is a fascinating place to explore what some of the world's most talented architects are doing.

Here's just one project from Biloxi Missisippi. A disaster-proof house designed for this hurricane-prone area.

Many projects are from disaster areas like Haiti. Kits of vernacular materials and methods.
