Abstract
Many architecture professionals want to assist people living in substandard conditions and those who have been affected by human-made or natural disasters. 2006 TED Prize recipient CameronSinclair (co-founder of Architecture for Humanity) sought a way for architecture professionals to work together, from anywhere in the world. Hot Studio, Inc. (San Francisco, USA) collaborated with Sun Microsystems (San Jose, USA) to create the Open Architecture Network (OAN): a web-based, open-source database to support architectural collaboration. Using the OAN, architectural project teams can share, review, and discuss designs, access tools to efficiently manage projects, engage with a community to share and discuss ideas, and more. The OAN launched in April 2007, so details around site adoption and user behavior are limited. By the time of the conference, additional features will launch, and we will have more information about how the site's experience is meeting user needs. Copyright © 2007 AIGA.
