Open Architecture Network

Open Architecture Network was the world's first online open source community dedicated to improving global living conditions through innovative and sustainable design.

It was developed by Architecture for Humanity and incorporated Creative Commons licensing within the project management tools.

Open Architecture Network was formed after one of its founders, Cameron Sinclair, won the 2006 TED Prize from the Technology Entertainment Design conference.

Shortly after the launch, AMD announced the sponsoring of the 2007 Open Architecture Challenge, an open design competition to develop technology facilities in the developing world.

Collaborate with each other, people in other professions and community leaders to address specific design challenges.
