Google Sketchup and Architecture for Humanity are co-hosting Sportables, a challenge to design a highly transportable and deployable play spaces for futsal that are sustainable infrastructure nodes. Located in the heart of the Capao Redondo unplanned settlement of Sao Paolo, Brazil this "pop-up” facility should also include micro-business generation and access to services.
Entries due: June 30, 2008
Award: $1000 (1st), $500 (2nd) and $250 (3rd)
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.
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.

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