The community picked the winning design. __ Tanzania: __ a telemedicine center ** What is the meaning of open-source architecture to house the world? **  The concept of open-source architecture is that anyone, anywhere in the world can be involved in local projects because the people that live on a locality know best the needs of that locality. ** In your opinion, what is the most important message in this video? **  The world's future is in our hands and if we live in a better world must take the initiative, as did Cameron, to increase awareness among people.
