what a damn shame, the program brief and concept is alright, maybe it was the lack of a stellar judging panel that resulted in the overall lack of design quality.

nice idea, but i agree with threads. quality of design is sorely lacking.

me thinks it is sketchup being the limiting factor, kinda like google search engine does not return all results, call it a filter call it a limitation.

Actually it suffered from lack of entries. This was a three week sprint and we had around 25 designs submitted. The jury came from within the community and other disciplines inc folks in Nike CSR, Google and AFH.

our new partner competition is 3 months -- http://www.openarchitecturenetwork.org/mattress
