The $300 House Project Wants Your Help to Solve the Global Housing Crisis
Attention all architects and designers, there is an alarmingly high number of people without adequate housing worldwide and the $300 House is a new project that is attempting to combat this! The project's aim is to create liveable housing for the poorest people around the world.
According to the $300 House website, the project's goals are to “design a simple dwelling that can be constructed for under $300 which keeps a family safe, allows them to sleep at night, gives them both protection from the elements and a sense of dignity.”
Designers, architects and even students are welcomed to submit their proposals for the $300 House up until May 26th, 2011. Not only will winners receive up to $25,000 in prizes, but anyone who participates can have the satisfaction of knowing they are helping to solve this global problem.
