article⁄Oswall (Open Source Wall): Rethinking Residential Wall Construction through Collaboration, Crowd Sourcing, and Iteration (2009)
abstract⁄Collaboration is essential to the kind of innovative, revolutionary, gamechanging innovations necessary to improve our world. Oswall is a collaborative construction system that endeavors to leverage collaboration to make a gamechanging leap forward. Oswall Open Source Wall is an experimental wall prototype that challenges conventional residential wall construction through an open, collaborative approach to material, fabrication, and installation methods. It proposes an ‘open source’ construction platform in which thirdparty designers, engineers, scientists, or ‘doityourselfers’ can create, produce, market, and sell ‘applications’ that are plugged into the wall.
