Second Life used by Studio Wikitecture

It is fascinating to watch the creative uses for technology.

Wikitecture Wins International Competition: 3D-Wiki Used to Compose an Open-Source Entry

Out of 566 registered entries from 57 countries, Studio Wikitecture won the overall ‘Founder’s Award’ <http://www.openarchitecturenetwork.org/challenge> for their open-source entry to a competition hosted by Architecture for Humanity on the Open Architecture Network. <http://www.openarchitecturenetwork.org/> In keeping with the collaborative spirit of the Open Architecture Network, their entry <http://www.openarchitecturenetwork.org/node/1434> for a tele-medicine facility in Western Nepal was chosen “for embracing a truly collaborative way of working using online crowdsourcing and Second Life as a way to create a highly participatory design approach.”
instead of tracking text documents in a linear history as you see in Wikipedia, the ‘Wiki-Tree’ tracked versions of 3-dimensional models and saved them within a continually evolving 3-dimensional digital tree ‘canopy’.
