    the guy with the quote at the end wasn’t 25 years too early, if it wasn’t for shitty governments holding everyone back then we could have improved living conditions for everyone easily by 1985.. I think :)

    What’s brilliant is the idea of an Open-source architectural site where anyone can have access to sustainable blueprints. EVERYONE has the right to sustainable living and it should not be corporatized. Thank you Cameron.
