Collaborative Social Design

by Mario Vellandi on October 21, 2007

While reading through my latest I.D. magazine, I came across two very interesting organizations that act as communities for social design projects. Very cool and similar to the open innovation networks out there.

Design21

Founded by Japanese design retailer Felissimo in partnership with UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), this community site offers design competitions, news, and member discussions.

Open Architecture Network

A forum for architects to review and rate projects by others, participate in 3 open challenges, find and connect with other members, and contribute and share resources.
