1252685591-guggenheimOn the occasion of the exhibitions Frank Lloyd Wright: From Within Outward and Learning By Doing, the Guggenheim and Google SketchUp invited amateur and professional designers from around the world to submit a 3-D shelter for any location in the world using Google SketchUp and Google Earth. Over the course of the summer, nearly 600 contestants from 68 different countries submitted designs that met the competition requirements. Current Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture students then selected ten finalists for the People’s Prize award.

Public voting is now open! Vote now for your favorite shelter design among the ten finalists. Don’t forget to check back on October 21, when the People’s Prize winner will be announced along with a special Juried Prize chosen by a panel of experts.

Vote for me and and help me get the People’s prize I would use to help the community of waste-pickers to have a better living. People with dissabilities and waste-pickers fight a commong battle, the struggle to have accessible public spaces, safe bike paths, and wheels to use them. My project enable them to work, move and shelter in less dramatic conditions that the one they already have.
