OBI Assistance Offers

Vision

• Alastair - first shot at An Open Housing Manifesto. A lot of it is based on the original WikiHouse design principles we wrote - I've experimented with putting it into the first person like a kind of pledge, but not sure that works! I'm sure there's lots to be deleted / edited / added - please feel free to rip it apart / start again...

Builds

• Musaba in Zambia
• Hello, good day to you. I'm interested in building up an eco-friendly community. I have some land in the country and the small community are all related in some way. I'd like to build up this small town complete with school and community buildings. I don't know exactly all this would take but whatever it is I'd like to move positively forward in an expeditious manner :) my name is Mr. Bey
• Ron Johnson
• Colby
• UFG

Collab

• Fawaz Rob - Dear Dr. Catarina Mota,

I am really inspired by your speeches and your work. I teach architecture at North South University in Bangladesh. You would think an architecture school in Bangladesh, where 70% of the population are rural, would heavily concentrate on 'sustainable rural' architecture. The truth is far from that. Its heavily influenced by copying mindless western architecture. I have a small research based architecture firm called Bangla Bari. If you would take a look at it, I would really appreciate it. We concentrate on earth and bamboo architecture. www.banglabaribd.com I would be highly interested in forming a partnership with your organization. I feel it can be brilliant for Bangladesh. This is an ever changing country, and we desperately need technical skills to build better dwellings in cost effective way. You can reach me at fawazrob@gmail.com or +8801713131657. If you ever feel giving a video presentation to our architecture students, we would also be honored.

• Nate - Green Roofs - Also, I design, build and grow vegetated green roofs all over the world and have studies aquaponics in great depth. It would be great to connect about how we might be able to collaborate.
