recently the finalists were announced for the open architecture challenge; eight team finalists for the 2009 open architect challenge: classrooms. the call for entries spurred over 10,000 participants from architects, teachers and students.
“This initiative invited the architecture, design and engineering community to collaborate directly with students and teachers to rethink the classroom of the future. Designers entering the competition were given a simple mandate: collaborate with real students in real schools in their community to develop real solutions,” explained Cameron Sinclair, the co-founder for Architecture for Humanity and this competition.
