Jean Claude has nuthin' on our own action hero and author of "Design Like You Give a Damn". Cameron Sinclair is usually flying all over the world to give lectures and run competitions; somehow Wired's Adam Rogers got him to sit down for an interview to discuss the Open Architecture Network, "a system to allow architects and designers and innovators to share solutions amongst each other, and also to allow communities to find solutions to implement, based on systemic issues and post-disaster reconstruction," says Sinclair. "The sole purpose is based on social good, and not financial good"

Sinclair also discusses how the increasing access to technology is opening the doors to design. "Anyone has the tools to basically become an architect."

Wired: "That must be great for the certified architects." ::Wired and ::Planetizen
