OS-House Project

A group of forward-thinking collaborators plan to design and deliver a single family home in Ghana as an open-source house (image courtesy of Open Source House, http://www.os-house.org).

Most of us are aware of open source software (Linux operating system, for instance), but how about an open source house (OS-House)?

In June 2009, a "mixed, enthusiastic group of young people" (as they prefer to be known) came together to build an affordable, eco-friendly house in Ghana. They were deliberately targeting lower middle class citizens in developing countries so they could avoid donor dependence, according to the case study the group had posted online.

Would it be possible to developped this kind of association in China?
