the amd open architecture challenge is an open international design competition that reaches beyond the traditional bounds of architecture by challenging industry professionals and others to develop innovative and sustainable solutions to improve living conditions around the world. every two years this initiative will tackle a different systemic issue faced by half the world's population that is living on less than $2 a day. it is the belief of the challenge organizers that the generation of ideas alone cannot create real social and economic change and that by building sustainable and replicable solutions we can truly make a difference. this initiative will provide up to $250,000 for the implementation of the selected winning design.
the inaugural challenge is sponsored by amd through 50x15, a global initiative founded by amd to enable affordable internet access and computing capability for 50 percent of the world's population by the year 2015. as an extension of the 50x15 learning labs program, this year's challenge will focus on the design and construction of technology centers that will help a broad cross-section of a community realize greater educational, social and business opportunities via the internet.
complete details and registration information will be available after september 5, 2007. competition web site : http://www.openarchitecturenetwork.org/challenge competition email : [email protected]
