Interesting Competition…

in association with
Architecture for Humanity

The AMD Open Architecture Challenge is an open, international design competition. Its aim is to develop not one but many solutions for building sustainable, multi-purpose, low-cost technology facilities for those who need them most. Three community partners have been selected to participate in this year’s Challenge. Each site poses a unique set of design constraints and opportunities. While the needs of each client are unique, the hurdles they face in embracing technology to offer access to education, healthcare and the global marketplace are shared by millions of people in communities all over the world.

You do not have to be trained architect to participate. Anyone can enter. Entrants are invited to develop a design for one, two or all three sites.

Each design entered into the competition will be published and shared on the Open Architecture Network so that any community looking for similar design solutions will have access to them.
