I just got this. I thought of you.
I know you are interested in the cool stuff going on in architecture and I thought you might be interested in Potomac Valley Brick. They created an International Design competition called “BrickStainable.” The challenge is to design a sustainable building using clay masonry units (brick) as the primary material. This net-zero design competition already has teams from 45 different countries registered, with the registration deadline being three weeks away. The entries from last year are very innovative and if you were interested in taking a look at them, they are posted on BrickStainable’s website at www.brickstainable.com. Since brick is intrinsically sustainable and often overlooked, it’s a great competition, trying to push brick to the forefront of energy efficient design in this green era. Winners get prizes, the top winner receives a $10,000 cash award. Just thought you would enjoy hearing about this competition that brings together designers from all over the country!

I am starting a new kind of architecture school. Unlike most architecture schools, you wouldn't have to submit GRE scores or good grades or letters of recommendation. You wouldn't have to put the rest of your life on hold for 3 to 5 years. You wouldn't have to accrue tens of thousands of dollars in debt. At my architecture school, anyone could come for a few weeks and learn how to build a house with their own two hands. My teachers would take skills and concepts from some of these other workshops I've listed above... except classes would be held year-round to make it easy to fit into your schedule. I would have a number of different campuses around the country that would teach building designs appropriate to the local climate. And I need your help. Can you donate land for a campus? Can you dotate books for a library? Can you teach a workshop? Can you provide start-up capital? Let me know.
