Open Architecture for housing the needy

This is an awesome talk about an organization based on open source principles that designs, architects and builds housing for those who need it around the world.

Many examples of the stuff they done for disaster control, mobile hospitals, schools and shelters.

They focus on sustainable design and try to engage the global community as well as the local communities.

Football craziness in Lugano

Ciao amici,

The Champion's League football final just ended with AC Milan winning!
Now people are going crazy on the streets of Lugano; they are honking cars everywhere ... screaming for hours now ... ché mondo! It must be the proximity to Italy and Milan.

I was out walking on the streets tonight wearing my AC Milan jersey and cars passing me by wouldn't stop honking and people pumping their fists in the air.

It's beautiful to be in a place that cares for this great sport!

Buona notte!
