SINCLAIR IS A PARADISE PAVER

[arquiteuthis]

Cameron cracked a joke saying that Zaha Hadid, a famous "starchitect" is funding the "War on Terror" in Iraq and Afghanistan due to the migrant workers that are hired for work on her and other starchitects' projects in Dubai who later lose their construction jobs, and with no other sources of income or family for support, join the insurgency. 

[arquiteuthis]

I had the privilege of meeting Cameron at a conference and invited him to speak at an event for the school of architecture at my university in the Spring of 2009. Some may expect him to be a something of a hippie eco-elitist, but instead, Cameron genuinely possesses a passion for people of all privileges and backgrounds.

the biggest problem is over-population, and this only worsens the problem

[arquiteuthis]

@OASISriffs Watch talks by Hans Rosling. The population will level off around 9 billion people in 2050 with proper education and humanitarian aide preformed by individuals such as Mr. Sinclair.

"Open source architecture...." ....to save the world? The struggle continues!

The video summed up everything I felt was wrong in architect: "$500,000 "modest" homes"? "10,000 tool sheds"? (from the pages of Dwell Magazine) Give me a f---ing break!

After watching this video, my faith in humanity is renew. The ideas of how they will help the world sounds like they want to make love to the world one desing at a time.

Good luck Sinclair! Be your fucking best!!!

[DenjoTheBlunt]

How the comments here are running after everything humanistic someone says... no reflection, no critical thought...

[Pynchon1980]

Cameron is speaking at a public talk at the Royal Geograpahical Society (with IBG) in London on 25 May 2010 discussing improving response to Natural Disasters

21st Century Challenges series

Open source, whether it's in form of text, music, architecture, design or programming is the best thing to human kind in centuries.

[baeritukaez]

@ugluspegill

Wrong.  Public domain is the best.

[Numanelo]

the guy with the quote at the end wasn't 25 years too early, if it wasn't for shitty governments holding everyone back then we could have improved living conditions for everyone easily by 1985.. I think :)

[tyrannicoystercult]

best vid on the net right here i.m.o

[LizzyDino]

this guy is coming to my college in a week I'm sooo excited!

[seanarrative]

"When you look at the face of an architect, most people think a gray haired, white guy. I dont see that. I see the face of the world"

inspiring quote

[seanarrative]

haha he walks in during his speech and folds his suit

by the way, great talk. absolutely loved it and it certainly is a fascinating thing hes doing :)

[sirhung]

Many people have creative ideas to solving many problems around the world, problem is they don't know how to bring forth their solutions into reality.

[PandaShicky]

Love of my LIFE! what an amazing guy

[crossingthechannel]

[imslicc]

great. awakening of awareness. we have the resources! we have the knowhow!

[ladiosaverde]

What's brilliant is the idea of an Open-source architectural site where anyone can have access to sustainable blueprints. EVERYONE has the right to sustainable living and it should not be corporatized. Thank you Cameron.

[ttarch311]
