Milan Design Week

[S. Kritikos]

Folks,

last year I posted about the open-hardware agricultural machine
project, and today came across a similar project. The following event
took place a few days ago in Italy:

la Rinascente Milan Design Week 16.04.2012 - 21.04.2012

A number of interesting projects, some futuristic and more artistic,
but there is one project that is relevant to us, WikiHouse.

This is a project to make open-hardware house designs that can be
downloaded over the net. Anybody could then download the designs and
cut wood planks using them and make a house. You can see designs
submitted at:

Also 1min video

An area we need to keep an eye on
