Open Architecture Network

I came across this through the Wired Science section of the PBS website that Gray Matter Extrapolation pointed out in a recent post.

The Open Architecture Network is an open source online community that offers sharing of architecture designs between all levels of architects. The main theme behind this online community is user generated architecture designs that are cost effective in design, material, and sustainability; their goal is to connect people to help solve housing problems all over the globe. A creation of Architecture for Humanity, the Open Architecture Network allows users to review and comment, share ideas, and work collaboratively on architecture design from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection.

This can be a useful social media PR tool and resource for architecture companies. This is a forum for larger companies to give back to the community in the form of pro bono work. It allows companies to volunteer their special skills for the public good. With practically all the architecture companies today creating designs digitally, the Open Architecture Network would be easy to use.
