Where We Live: Architecture In The Public Interest

What if the blueprints to the next great American building were released to the public and it was designed collaboratively?

That’s a far cry from the “individualistic” approach in the iconic novel, “The Fountainhead.”  

This new idea suggests all of us might have something to contribute to Architecture.  It’s called “Open Source Architecture” and it’s based on an inclusive approach to the profession.

It brings in multiple users and participants to the planning process and emphasizes the crowd as architect over the individual architect.  It also recognizes that infrastructure is constantly evolving - not a static process of putting up a building and then forgetting about it.

What are your ideas for opening up the world of architecture?
