Digital Open Winners: Teen Designs Eco-Homes of the Future

Meet Digital Open (digitalopen.org) winning teen Ferran Rovira Bosca, of Spain. This 15-year-old created a concept for an "Eco Self-Sustaining House" -- architecture of the future that captures its own renewable energy, and is independent of electrical power companies. Ferran believes that technology can help us come up with new ways of protecing the environment, and designing our homes in new, smarter ways is the area that captures his interest.
